THUNDER - ENGLISH MAN ON HOLIDAY
ALBUM - BACKSTREET SYMPHONY
TABBED BY - Matt Gilroy
Key
2^3 Play 2nd and hammer-on to 3rd
3^2 Play 3rd and pull-off to 2nd
Note:- The chords I have indicated are only how I play them. Any
form of power chord will do. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
The break between verse 2 and the solo is probably wrong. Any help
would be appreciated. No attempt is given to notating rhythm.
So get your cans of lager out, your union jack shorts and get rocking!!
INTRO
