------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Steadman / Bombay Bicycle Club - If I Could ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Harry Yeates E-mail: HarryYeates@gmail.com I'm posting this mainly to clear some stuff up, and because It's the most accurate tab of this song. First things first, THIS IS NOT A BOMBAY BICYCLE CLUB SONG! "If I Could" was written by Jack Steadman (lead guitarist and vocalist from Bombay Bicycle Club), when he was 14 years old, pre-Bombay. He had his own solo project and released plenty of songs before forming Bombay Bicycle Club. Search on YouTube, Jack Steadman - If I Could, and you'll find most of his self-released early stuff. Over the course of a week, I managed to learn and finally write this tab for the whole song. I am posting it here as Bombay Bicycle Club rather than Jack Steadman in the hope that more people will find it and learn the track, as I have seen on YouTube many people wanting to learn the track. Here you go folks, enjoy!
