Biography:
The Bevis Frond is a British musical group whose range covers hard edge to melancholy vintage indie rock to poetic, "classic-rock" songcraft with a thick Walthamstow accent. Nick Saloman is the band's frontman and songwriter. They have recorded many albums out on various independent labels.
Saloman was originally in a band known as the Bevis Frond Museum in the late 1960s and in 1979 was in a band called the Von Trapp Family. The Bevis Frond, however, was a one man band from the start with the release of a 250 copy pressing of Miasma in 1987.

DOWN IN THE WELL
Bevis Frond
(Nick Saloman)
G B C
George, another pint of winter warmer,
G B C
See the bubbles rising, that's not right now,
G B C
Cans and bottles and the guilt of the disposer,
A G
I was never one for preaching,
A G
You never know who you're reaching,
A C D (E) G C
But now I seem to do it most of the time,
B C
Down in the Well (x2)
B C G
Down in the well I hold forth.
Do I stand beneath a falling building,
Like some 1920's window cleaner?
Just an architect created pancake.
I was never one for running,
Ther's always something coming,
Wherever you hide it always finds you asleep,
Down in the well I sweet dream.
Down in the well I remain.
Nick Saloman: Guitars, Bass, Vocals
Martin Crowley: Drums
The solo is dead simple... Just listen and play along in open G major
pentatonic. Then move up to the 12th (15th) fret for the high bit.
Easy!
If anyone can recommend a good tabbing program, I'd transcribe it, but
it's difficult to get the timing right in Notepad - sorry.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
