Awkward Kid Chords & Tabs
For some reason there don't seem to be any tabs on the net for this great band
from the late 80s/early 90s, despite their having released 8 albums. Check out this
song on Youtube and the rest of their discography on http://www.megacityfour.co.uk/
By the sounds of things a couple of their albums are set for re-release early 2013.

a shout. Be gentle, this is my first tab here.
