                             Band On The Run - Paul McCartney & Wings

Tabbed by: Spiketheferret
Tuning: Standard

This is how I play the song, sounds amazing on acoustic and pretty slick on a 
lightly over-driven electric as well.

If I ever get out of here,

Thought of giving it all  away
Am   Asus2      Am
To a registered charity.

All I need is a pint  a day
Am Asus2  Am
If I ever get out of here.
Am Asus2   Am
If we ever get out of here.

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
                      C
As we fell into the sun,
        C                     Fmaj7
And the first one said to the second one there
                      Em
I hope you're having fun.
G           C    Em           A 
Band on the run, band on the run.
        F              C
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
     F         F     F 
Were searching every one
        C     Fmaj7     C  Fmaj7  C     Fmaj7     C  Fmaj7 
For the band on the run,          band on the run

band on the run,          band on the run
          C                 Fmaj7
Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
                           C
Seeing no one else had come,
      C                       Fmaj7
And a bell was ringing in the village square
                       Em
For the rabbits on the run.

G           C    Em          A
Band on the run, band on the run.

Well, the night was falling as the desert world
                   C
Began to settle down.
       C                             Fmaj7
In the town they're searching for us every where
                       Em
But we never will be found.

G           C    Em          A 
Band on the run, band on the run.
        F                C
And the county judge who held a grudge
     F          F      F     
Will search for ever   more

        C     Fmaj7     C  Fmaj7  C     Fmaj7    C  Fmaj7
