TIME BOMB TOWN" By Mr LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM.
As it appears on the "Back to The Future" sound track .
-"Time Bomb Town" was the first song I ever heard by Lindsey Buckingham. It
totally freaked me out,in a most positive way and I had it in my head for
weeks. The only way to get rid of
it was to transcribe it, and so I did. ENJOY!-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the chord figure that goes on through the VERS and the INTRO:
4/4 | Abm(1) Ebm7 F#(1) | Abm(1) Ebm7 F#(2) |
| Abm(2) F#(2) F#sus4 | Ab5 Ab(2) Ebm7 |
This is somthing like what is beeing played in the PRE-CHORUS:
4/4 | Abm | (E) E(2) B | F#(3) | (D) D(2) A |
| E(2) |
And in the CHORUS :
4/4 | Abm | Ebm7 |
