Biography:
The Bluetones are an indie rock formed in Hounslow, England in 1994, featuring Mark Morriss (vocals, keyboards & occasional guitar), Adam Devlin (guitars), Scott Morriss (bass guitar & backing vocals), and Eds Chesters (drums)
Classed as a Britpop band, given that their appearance and initial huge success with songs such as Slight Return coincided synchronously with the Britpop explosion, their debut record Expecting To Fly appeared in 1996.

Artist : The Bluetones
Song : Big Problem
Album : ...Luxembourg
Tabbed : Jefferson Humber (Jordan Humber for the riff & fine polish)
Date : 13-MAR-2006
Tuning : EADGBe
Notes : Technically Em's should be played instead of Emaj, but I think Emaj sounds
better when I play it on my accoustic guitar. I suspect on the record an E5 is in fact
played.

With such momentum I can’t stop
