Tuning: EADGBe (standard)



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.

Intro x3



Now I'm headed for the border

You see this song it ends right at the start

I swore when I was younger

No one would win my heart



Chorus x2



Intro x3



And far away hills look greener still

But soon they'll all slip away

It's then I'll be returning

And I'll be coming home to stay



Fade out while playing chorus.
