Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Tame Impala - Elephant
from their 2012 album Lonerism

The main riff actually uses a low D note on the low E string. You have to tune down from
E to D to do that, but I'm tabbing this song in standard for simplicity. If you want to
be exact, then change your tuning to drop D and use the open string. That's how Kevin
plays it, but it isn't 100% essential, especially if you can't be bothered retuning.
You could also just turn it into a D power chord as well to compensate.

Elephant - Tame Impala

Tabbed by:Der_aggster

Just wanted to bring you the way Tame Impala actually plays it.
I have not seen any tabs for this song that are accurate regarding tuning or solos.

Tuning: DGCFAD

I've marked the accents with the beat number under it the first few bars
because I thought it was a bit confusing at first.
