This is 'Boys In The Band.' I got a first release CD on which it was called 'Breck Rd.
In The Band.' They are the same... anyway enjoy. It's my first and only tab, and it works
me but it's only an interperatation so don't get hissy.

The lyrics aren't my own either. They are also only here as a guide so if you want
lyrics look elsewhere.

Starts with a strum of F (1, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1) before guitar 1 comes in and then just
the 3rd and

but mainly only hitting G, D, A and e.

Guitar 1 and 2 play together for 2 bars and then the lyrics come in when guitar 2 stops
(and
sings) andguitar 2 carries on. Guitar 2 comes in again after the first line and carries
with the
