The Rocket Summer - Tv Family .written by Bryce Avery
Tabbed By Paul Welsford
This song totally rules! good song to play and sing to to impress around people who
don't kno much about The Rocket Summer. and there are too many people who dont kno about them
here in merry old england.
Well here it is. This is how i play it and it doesnt sound too far off.
