Hey guys, this is "Swings and Waterslides", the most popular song by Viola Beach.
The entire band tragically died in a car accident whilst in Sweden with their manager.
The song itself is relatively easy to play. Consisting of only 2 riffs, the longer of the two is used
throughout the song, whereas the shorter is used in the intro and the end of the post chorus.
I was unable to find a tab anywhere for this, so worked it out and wrote one myself!
Please let me know of any corrections/tips, hope you like it!
