The Boys Are Back In Town
Thin Lizzy
Text File
A classic by Thin Lizzy.
Tabbed by: BASSteve
Tuning: EADG
Time signature: 8/8
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.
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.
