• Song:

    Concrete & Clay

  • Artist:

    Unit Four Plus Two

versions of this battled it out on the US charts: one by the composer,
Eddie Rambeau, and a cover by the Unit 4+2.  This transcription is of the
latter, which was probably recorded in C and sped up to Db for the single.

	That's the way it's meant to be   [fade]
