Down in a tube station at midnight, it is difficult to play.!
When climbing the riff, either double strike the string or stress the note.
You need a pick to play this tune.

Pause
Riff 15 3.07 repeat to end imrpovise a bit.
The last thing that I saw
As I lay there on the floor
Was jesus saves painted by an atheist nutter
And a british rail poster read have an awayday - a cheap holiday -
Do it today!
I glanced back on my life
And thought about my wife
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight
