A great cover from Quo. I'm not quite sure about the Amb6 that the lead guitar plays in 
intro, but that's what it looks like Francis is playing on a live performance that I 
If it doesn't sound right to you, then just play and A5 in its place.
Enjoy playing this and Merry Christmas! =)

Dm (xx0231@1)                               (STOP)
Hand grenades flying over your head

EmShots (022000@1)ring out in the dead of night
                  (STOP)
