BACK ON MY FEET AGAIN by The Babys #33 US in 1979
INFO: This tab is for solo acoustic guitar and touches on the 
   main instruments of the song. It is not specifically a guitar 
   or bass tab. Practice along with recording and you will pick 
   it up quickly. The INTRO riffs are played for the verse as well
   but you'll need to break away from the piano part and hit the 
   A,G#m,F#m,G#m etc.,etc.,(See the lyrics for chord placement) 
      We always get a comment after playing this like "Forgot 
   all about this song" or "What was that song?" Hey, if radio
   isn't going to play good forgotten hits, it falls upon us.
