Bucks Fizz Land Of Make Believe
Album: Are You Ready
Year: 1981
UK No 1
Tabbed by Jack Delonge
This original tuning of this song is slightly flat of standard so if you want to play along you have to
down tune half a half step. There is no guitar actually in the song but sounds good played on an acoustic/
electric with vocals.
