------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BOY WITH THE THORN IN HIS SIDE - The Smiths ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: knighty123 Email: knighty_dan@hotmail.co.uk I wanted to learn this song to play acoustically, but the tabs already on here didn't seem right. So I made this one, it's sort of an amalgamation of different people's rendition of the song, with the song itself, put in a way I think sounds nice when played on an acoustic. The intro I tabbed out isn't completely accurate as to how many strums of each chord to do, so just try it out and do whatever sounds good to yourself. In the verse, I'll put a '*' next to the Am chords, which you play briefly for a strum or two.
