Here's how to play 'You Really Got Me' by The Kinks!
Quick word on the tuning. See a live video further down this page where they clearly play F to G for the main riff (first fret power chord to third fret power chord). However, the original recording sounds a little higher than this, so you may want to move everything up 1 fret to be in tune with that!
