London can you wait?"


               A
My kith and kin
             A

My kith and kin

Death just walked in, again

How long can you wait?"

This outro, although on the right lines is not exactly correct to how it
should be played. The TAB above is just the chords used, broken up.
Despite this it is correct and works quite well....


I hope you know what Im talking about.
Anyway, lets hear someone elses attempts at some GENE TAB. I cant do all the
work you know... BTW, Ive never seen any before and the brilliant band we
all know and love deserve it (or something (?)). So, come on Gene fans, lets
see it...

N.B. This very rough guide to London... should be played so it sounds right
to you. Most of the chords, as you will find out, are broken but you can
just strum through for a sing song. So,...erm.....enjoy, and stuff!
