Tame Impala - You Haven't Been Telling the Truth
Technically this is by The Dee Dee Dums, which was Kevin Parker's blues project before
it turned into Tame Impala, but I've put it here for simplicity. It's basically the same band.
Also, be sure to tune down two semitones to D standard, otherwise you won't be able to
play along with the recording and you will be in the wrong key.
