Re: Stiff Little Fingers

so from memory ( and if wrong I will post it correctly tomorrow if i remember and if i dont then ask again,lol)


Dm D Dm  Am     G


(the D is just strummed once)


then the wee bit before the chorus goes  A  G  C

C                    G

thehn then the wee break part I think is


F             C

Re: Stiff Little Fingers

Cheers Ken,


I'll try and work it out from that.


Got my tickets for the Barrowlands gig and it's put me in the mood to add more than the Alternative Ulster intro to my pitifull repertoire!  <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

Re: Stiff Little Fingers

Yeah I'm looking forward to hearing Inflammable Material in its entirety, wonder if White Noise will make any column inches in the local rag? The idiots probably still don't 'get it'. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">


This will only be about the 7th time I've seen 'em (first one was the last year Henry played with 'em, '89 or '90 I think?), every one at the Barras apart from one a few years ago at the Grand Hall in Killie. Like you say, they just get better every year.



Tell ye what though, if they don't play Listen, I'm on that stage and I'll damn well play it!

I am sure they have played it every year I have seen them since 1993. But sometimes I have been that intoxicated I cannot remember every song. <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">


enjoy the gig.
