This is 'Boys In The Band.' I got a first release CD on which it was called 'Breck Rd. In The Band.' They are the same... anyway enjoy. It's my first and only tab, and it works me but it's only an interperatation so don't get hissy. The lyrics aren't my own either. They are also only here as a guide so if you want lyrics look elsewhere. Title: Breck Rd.

Guitar 1 and 2 play together for 2 bars and then the lyrics come in when guitar 2 stops (and sings) andguitar 2 carries on. Guitar 2 comes in again after the first line and carries with the chords as shown below: -------- VERSE 1: F You're walking like you've never seen the light You're walking like it every night A#m C But I've never seen you dance and I've never heard you sing Am Dm C#m C C (strum lots) F RIFF e|---2--------7-------| So how can it mean a single thing?
