If... - by The Bluetones
---------
Tabbed by Frederic Maquet
This is one of the singles taken from the Return to the Last Chance
Saloon album. It's brilliant, but then, what do you expect from
the Bluetones!
This version is different from the previous one as it has some lead bits.
They're not all there, but quite a few are, so it should be
pretty accurate, but not 100%
Thanks to Giles and Ricardo, for the chords version and coaxing me to
do this one!

Verse 2: same progression as verse 1
--------
Sometimes, a smoke, a drink and a ponder, can work wonders,
When you're down, takes your frown, turns it round, around
And you, when you try, to make a difference, you're no different
Then when I, try, and just die, I die.
And now, that your day- dream is forgotten, and forgiven,
And the world has been saved, be brave
Chorus 2: same as chorus 1 with the additional stuff below:
