7. Astroboy (And the Proles on Parade) – The Buggles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The chord sheet only contains the basic chords which may be enough to
strum along on a guitar. The song is pretty enough that way.
But what goes on behind/below the surface is impressive, too. I transcribed
the INTERLUDE and the keyboard chords and the haunting rhythm of VERSE
and BRIDGE in the tab below for a second guitar or whatever is available.
