very simple but masterfully effective riffs from geordie. sussed this while watching
them live in early eighties. from the album "whats this for" the only instrumental on
the record. you will need to hear the recording first to pick up the rhythem though.

based on A and A7 chords.

B|-2-2-2---2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------------------------------------------

please give this tab a chance as i am bassist and geordie uses heaps of delay and
it is believed slight de-tune. constructive comments welcome. phil Q.
