Back To The Old House Bass

THE SMITHS - BACK TO THE OLD HOUSE
 
PLEASE NOTE THIS SONG IS *NOT* IN STANDARD TUNING,
ANDY ROURKE TUNES HIS BASS UP A STEP, SO IT'S A,E,B,F# INSTEAD OF G,D,A,E.
HE DOESN'T ALWAYS DO IT, PROBABLY ABOUT 2/3 OF THE TIME.
SOME OF THE SMITHS' MOST FAMOUS SONGS ARE PLAYED IN THIS
WAY, SUCH AS "THIS CHARMING MAN", "WILLIAM, IT WAS REALLY
NOTHING", AND "BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN."
 
THERE IS ALREADY A VERSION OF THIS ONLINE, THE PERSON POSTED THE
CORRECT NOTES FOR THE MOST PART BUT DIDN'T ACCOUNT FOR THE CHANGE IN
TUNING SO I'VE DONE IT HERE. ENJOY :)
