The Fratellis is an alternative rock band from Glasgow, Scotland who took their name from the villains in the film "The Goonies" (although, by coincidence, Barry's mother's maiden name is in fact Fratelli). The band consisted of lead vocalist and guitarist Jon Fratelli (real name John Lawler), bass guitarist Barry Fratelli (real name Barry Wallace), and drummer, backing vocalist, occasional guitarist and banjo player Mince Fratelli (real name Gordon McRory).
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
The first tab for this is close but a few parts are a little off. So I thought I'd and do my own version. I haven't bothered to include any tab for the second electric guitar. Mainly cause I'm and no one asked for it :) The acoustic guitar in the song is capoed at the 2nd fret, as in the earlier tab.

That's pretty much it. There's a nice electric lead part that plays throughout the song, does a little solo-ing at the end. As mentioned above, I haven't included it. But if interested I can probably tab it out. Send me an e-mail at [email protected]. enjoy just strumming along. This is a sweet little tune.
