Boy Tabs

(ver. 1)
Reuben
Had my guitar in drop d flat coz i was playing other reuben songs, so i
played this in drop d flat too. On reflection it could be played in drop d,
so just play 133 for the 1st chord rather than 224 etc. i think it sounds
pretty good, but any comments welcome, either by email
it's a wicked song, especially to finish off the album!
