Tomblands

Since a second big reunion has been announced, I feel as if I have to contribute 
something. 
This is how I play the song, it's not perfect  but I feel it's better than 
what's here already.

Ad-lib repeat this solo, almost exactly the same for a few bars, varying the 12 on
the B to get the same sound as the record.

E    C           D     E
No, never gonna get me no
  C          D     E
Never gonna get me no
  C          D     E
Never gonna get me no

Outro - B, D, A, A  (basically the intro again.)
