that bit on the x2

Outro (Lead guitar only)
Its the best I can do. It didn't take long to work out - but you must excuse the
guided instructions on how to play it - this is one of my very first tabs so i've
probably tabbed it down wrong. No worries though - you can always throw in your
own variations if it sounds closer to the original. Enjoy the tab!!
P.S Check out my Buzzcocks tab please for "Ever fallen in Love"? I'd also
appreciate a rating, comments, or corrections on this tab. Thanks for checking it out
