xSong: Fly My Pretties
Artist: Fly My Pretties
Album: Live at Bats
tabbed by James van Rooyen
The verse will use the main riff throughout, which on guitar I like to
combine with the bass line (by using my ring finger for the Riff 1 note,
while my index does the bass line).

Intro
Riff 1
Riff 1
Well Wellington’s a small town
But it packs a lot of punch
There’s talent oozing from the walls
They eat ideas for lunch
Asus2
It can get a little claustrophobic even if you try
E Riff1
Fly my pretties, fly
Well I reckon this town’s brilliant
In lots of different ways
But it doesn’t have the money or the glamour of LA
I’m sure you’ll make it there,
Asus2
The star’s are shining bright
E Asus2
If you have to go then fly
Chorus:
D A
Fly away
E Asus2
As long you come back some day
D A
Fly away
E Asus2
Hope to see you round some day
Riff 1
Well I’ve lived here my whole life
And sure the living’s sweet
But what I want’s the whole world just to listen to my beats
Asus2
The only way to do this is travel far and wide
E Asus2
So if you have to go then fly
Riff 1
They say that there’s a brain drain
And I reckon that it’s true
Our best are cruising off shore just to make a buck or two
Asus2
It seems a little sad that we can’t do it all right here
E Asus2
But if you have to go take care
Chorus
[Little guitar bit]
