 Tabbed by: Tyler J

 Tuning: Standard
 
 Artist: XTC
 Album: Drums And Wires (1979)
 
 This is a fantastic song by XTC from their 1979 album ?Drums And Wires?. Just a note
 I did not write this tab in essence but I fixed it up, added information on the chords that
 not commonly known on guitar and fixed up the song form and placement of the chords.
 I am told that the original tab for this was not written for guitar but for piano, so
 explains the complicated chords.
 
 Anyway, enjoy!
