(PhilLynott @ ultimate-guitar.com) Lyrics: Provided by www.sing365.com Hello all Thin Lizzy fans! The song itself is quite easy. The guitarist plays this fingerpicking pattern but I bothered to tab it because it sounds better if you play the chords (if you only got one guitar). Thin Lizzy the whole thing with a big orchestra (or so it seems) so they have a full sound and if you dont play chords the sound will be uninteresting and flat. The 2 riffs I have set up is optional. It sounds just a bit cool you do them. Riff1 is really played with 1 guitar and 1 bass and at one place it is played by some sort of (or something like that). Riff2 is a riff for the bass guitar but I like it so I put it in there.
