Tabs
ANOTHER NAIL IN MY HEART
As recorded by Squeeze
(From the 1981 Album ARGYBARGY)
Transcribed by Wunderdog
Glenn Tilbrook's solo is amazing here. The bass transcription has been included because
the bass occassionally 'duets' with the lead guitar. I hope the bass tabs line up ok with
the guitar tabs. Mainly power chords are played but the full chord name is shown as they
are implied by the keyboard. You will need to keep your index finger barred at the 9th
during the very fast section of the solo (noted in score).
