Gold on the Ceiling The Black Keys
==============================================================
Gold On The Ceiling - The Black keys
==============================================================
In my opinion, one of the best songs of their new album, El Camino.
This is my first tab in a while. It is highly inspired by other tabs i've seen for this
song (and I don't take credit for this one at all). So I made one.
I might be doing other Black Keys tab as well. Be sure to check them out.
