The Blasters são uma típica banda de rock and roll. Mais particularmente, com uma grande influência do rockabilly e, naturalmente, rhythm and blues rock. Californianos, liderados pelos irmãos Phil e Dave Alvin (este, em profícua carreira solo após a banda se desfazer no final dos anos 80). Phil 'tirou' o nome da banda de um grupo que ele supunha chamar-se Blues Blasters (que apoiavam Joe Turner). Porém, nascidos dentro do movimento punk no final dos anos 70, herdaram alguma infuência daí também.

The intro and between-verse parts are harmonica, but if you want to play them on guitar they go something like
GEm I know, I've been foolin' myself too long EmC Never right but always wrong DG Goodbye, baby, so long GEm You know, you never let this thing catch on, EmC You never let me be that strong, DG Goodbye, baby, so long C There was a cold wind blowing on the night we met, Em The leaves fell from the trees C You made a lot of promises I ain't seen yet D I ain't gonna ask you please GEm You know, none of us are gonna cry, EmC It wasn't even worth the try, DG So long, baby, goodbye C There was a cold wind blowin' on the night we met Em Windows were rolled up tight C We both asked for something we could never get D Now I'll do the thing that's right GEm We know, none of us are gonna cry EmC It wasn't even worth a try DG So long, baby, goodbye
