 This is the last song on 5 Man Acoustical Jam, and just shows you 
 what a good tune you can make with completely nil technical 
 difficulty. 
   Tommy tunes normally, and Frank plays slide with open E (EBEG#BE) 
 tuning. Brian's bass line is VERY repetitive, but utterly essential. 
   The final (That's all folks) section I have transcribed with Tommy 
 playing chords, and Frank playing lead, but since it's quite tricky 
 to play the lead with a slide on your finger, Tommy could well be 
 doing it (and I'm imagining the chords). Decide for yourselves. 
   I apologize for any confusion Tommy's part may cause-I have 
 written some bars as chords with the rhythnm shown, and others with 
 full tablature, and others still with both. I know it's very 
 unconventional, but it's both lazy and complete , giving both the 
 notes and the rhythm

 Lyrics: 
  
 (Spoken) Aw take it away Frankie baby! 
  
  
   
    
  
 I'm on a ride on out into the sun 
 and I won't be back til the mornin' come  <'comes' 2nd time> 
 I'm gettin down fo' boogie 
 I'm not alone 
  
 I said a come on, come on, gather round 
 'cause we're all gonna party down 
 I'm gettin down fo' boogie 
 I'm not alone   Oh 
  
  
    
     
  
 Mr Skeoch 
  
  
     
  
  
      
       
  
 I'm gettin' down fo' boogie 
 Down fo' boogie 
 I'm gettin' down fo' boogie 
 I'm not alone, yes I do 
 I'm gettin' down fo' boogie 
 I'm not alone, tell me how 'bout you? 
 I'm gettin down fo' boogie 
 I'm not alone 
 Aw'haw! 
  
 (Spoken) ababidaba..... That's all folksss'
