The Boys Are Back In Town Bass Tab

A classic by Thin Lizzy.

Tabbed by: BASSteve

Tuning: EADG

Time signature: 8/8

r = rest (listen for duration)

*My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration. 
However, you will find that I’ve made an attempt to strategically
space the notes and rests within their respective measures in order to
represent the appropriate durations.
