Them Kids Guitar Tabs by Sam Roberts

Them Kids

By: Sam Roberts Band

Album: Them Kids(2008)
Tabbed By: wolfendenc

Notes:  This is a basic version of the song.  Some of the lyrics were a little difficult
decipher, so I apologize for the mistakes.  Guitar #2 jams higher on the guitar during
of the parts.  The “G” chord is on the 10th fret and the “C” chord is in the same 
as a regular D chord, but played on the 12th fret.
Great tune by a great band.

Chords:
G – 320001
D – 000230
C – 032010
F – 003211
A – 002220
