The Ataris - Boys Of Summer guitar tab
Note: I only submitted this tab, every thing after the "---" section was done by someone else, who didn't bother to submit this tab here. I'm just doing my part for guitarist kind. That, and I'm not talented enough to tab something this complex. Oh, and this tab says there are four(!) guitars, so it's automatically wrong, 'cause there are only two in The Ataris. But if ya listen to the CD, you actually CAN hear four guitars. Well that's enough rambling, on to the tab! Any questions? Email: yoduh4077@hotmail.com or AIM: geebeeboy
