Everclear – The Boys Are Back In Town (Bass Tab)

Versions (4)
Auto-scroll

A simpler version of Thin Lizzy's classic. Tabbed by: BASSteve r = rest (listen for duration) *My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song. In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration. However, you will find that I’ve made an attempt to strategically space the notes and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate durations.
