The Boy With the Thorn in His Side 
 
As usual, dont quote me on the bass part as I dont pay too too much
attention to it.  
  
intro (i'm just showing the chords, i'm too lazy to tab out each 
time he strums the chord)

The song repeats the following pattern, then ends with the intro, 
then back through it again.  Also again, i dont tab out all the
strumming (which insnt to be confused with the times he is actually 
holding the notes)
