An absolutely cracking song, by one of the most talented and entertaining bands around
today, I hope you enjoy strumming along with the song, and to make it sound better
unaccompanied, I have included the chords that I use in DADGAD tuning, to add more 
ringing open strings.

Any comments or rates are welcomed, and feel free to use my tab as a basis to work out
your own. So here it is, Bellowhead's version of New York Girls, ENJOY!!!
