Asteria Networks Blog: Tab: This Kids

UFO - "The Kids" (Live)- Guitar tab Venue: Roundhouse Theatre, London. Year: 1975 Guitar performed by Michael Schenker. Interpretation & solo tabbing by me (c) 2009. Intro riff somewhat based on the tab by Charlie Coombs. Also took the lyrics. The album versions are much inferior to this flawless live performance! This has to be the best UFO recording ever. Standard guitar tuning. Distorted tone, some depth and maybe a tiny bit of delay. ~~~ = heavy vibrato tremolo = pick 16th h = hammer p = pull s = slide b = bend x = scratch Bluesy feel, add trills, vibrato and palm mutes as you wish, especially during the verses.

Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
