Song Title:  "Demolition Boys"
 
Written by:  K. McAuliffe, K. Johnson
Artist:  Girlschool
Album:  "Demolition"    (1980, Bronze Records/Re-issue on Castle, 2004)
Transcribed by:  Anne Drury    (acdrury@mountaincable.net)
Date:  May 23, 2005
 

Notes:
 
^...bend  (q=quarter tone, s=semi-tone, w=whole tone)
h...hammer on
r...release bend  
hb..hold bend  (hold bend while playing notes within square brackets)
p...pulloff
x...dead note (damp with fretting hand)
 

-The song is in the key of A. The guitar solo is in A pentatonic minor.
-For measures 9-12 of the guitar solo, there's a key change to B.
(Measures 11-12 might be in D...not sure, but they're definitely played
over a D5 chord.) Song returns to A at measure 13 of guitar solo.
-Timing: The song is in 4/4 time. Bar lines throughout the tab DO
indicate
measures of 4/4 time.
-Be aware, though, (in regard to timing) that measures 8 and 12 of the
guitar solo start with a pickup note that actually belongs to the
previous measure. Use the recording as a guide.
-Play chords as power fifths.
