505 - The EASIEST Arctic Monkeys Song to Play on Guitar?

Here's how to play 505 by Arctic Monkeys from their 2007 album Favourite Worst Nightmare.

This is probably the most popular two chord songs ever. Both those chords are minor; D minor and E minor respectively. In the video, we'll look at how these chords can be played as open chords (for beginners) and also as barre chords (for intermediates).

As I write this, the song is the bands fourth most streamed song on Spotify, so it's well worth learning and jamming along to the original recording!

No one has ever told me it was okay to lift your fingers and play a strum open so i could never change on beat. This has blown my mind, finally i can play a song without awkward pauses😂

I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs

Stop and wait a sec
When you look at me like that, my darlin', what did you expect?
I'd probably still adore you with your hands around my neck
Or I did last time I checked

Not shy of a spark
The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark
Frightened by the bite, though it's no harsher than the bark
The middle of adventure, such a perfect place to start

I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs

But I crumble completely when you cry
It seems like once again you've had to greet me with goodbye
I'm always just about to go and spoil a surprise
Take my hands off of your eyes too soon

I'm going back to 505
If it's a seven hour flight or a forty-five minute drive
In my imagination, you're waitin' lyin' on your side
With your hands between your thighs and a smile
