Yuichi Tamano (cs75sdo@sdcc13. This is a transcript I made of "Back to the Old House" by the Smiths. It's from the acoustic version from "Hat Full of Hollow". The notes on the high e string are heavily emphasized and ring loudly. This should be pretty close to the recording, though there are a few notes different here and there.
