Any comments/corrections feel free, but I think this is pretty accurate. For the solo rhythm you'll have to
listen to the song.
Enjoy!
The Last Shadow Puppets - Calm Like You
 
[Intro]
F#m
 
[Verse 1]
Bm            F#m
I can still remember when your
Bm            F#m
city smelt exciting
Bm             A
I still get a whiff
         C#7
Of that aroma now and then
Bm           F#m
Burglary and fireworks
     Bm              F#m
The skies they were alighting
Bm             A
Accidents and toffee drops
     C#7
And thinking on the train
 
[Chorus]
           Bm             F#m
Oh, he was young, in the frost
C#                F#m
No regard for the cost
               Bm
Of saying his feelings
        F#m             C#    F#m
In the moment they were felt
              Bm         F#m
And if he was calm like you
C#                       F#m
Locked up inside of your loops
                          Dm
Then he'd know for well
                            Dm
That all he had to say was
                          F#m
All he had to say was goodbye
 
[Solo]
Bm  F#m
Bm  F#m
Bm  A

E|-------------------------------------------|
(I think the rest is the same as above, bar the very end when "calm like you" comes in
the orchestra)
 
[Verse 2]
Bm            F#m
Summertime made promises
Bm            F#m
It knew it couldn't keep
Bm             A
The fairytale was climbing up
         C#
A mountain far too steep
Bm           F#m
Colouring the pictures
     Bm              F#m
With your loyal hand
    Bm            A
Now I am craving heartbreak
              C#/G#         C#7
While you're making your demands
 
[Chorus]
           Bm             F#m
Oh, he was young, in the frost
C#                F#m
No regard for the cost
               Bm
Of saying his feelings
        F#m             C#    F#m
In the moment they were felt
              Bm         F#m
And if he was calm like you
C#                       F#m
Locked up inside of your loops
                          Dm
Then he'd know for well
                            Dm
That all he had to say was
                          C#7
All he had to say was goodbye
 
[Outro]
               F#m       A/E
And if he was calm like you
 D                        C#m
Locked up inside of your loops
                         Bm
Then he'd know for well
                            Dm
That all he had to say was
                           F#m
All he had to say was goodbye

It's great! If you try with capo on 2th fret it's easier to play

The strumming pattern is correct but I just can't keep up with the original tempo, it's way too fast!
