The Boys Are Back In Town (Live)

Thin Lizzy’s live version originally from The 1976 Album Jailbreak. 

Bass performance Phil Lynott. Tab bass50611. Welcome to my tab. This 

live version from the album Live And Dangerous is second in a trio 

medley. I used to play exactly this on stage with my 3 piece band 

many, many moons ago. Comments at bass254@btinternet.com
