The Refreshments-"European Swallow"
From: Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy
Tabbed by: J-Punk (E-mail: kalwin@seidata.com)

This is my first tab, so no guarantees. It should be pretty close, though.
This came from my guitar skill, my Refreshments fanatacism, & lack of Refreshments
tabs on the net.

No Picture chris Average	#1 by chris jenko at Feb 14, 1978 at 10:18 PM EST
	Yeah, I like the confrontation with the "big old guy" He say's Heah skinny white boy What do you think about that I says it doesn't change much I still don't think much of you girlfriend I think the big guy doesn't approve or know about what his girlfriend does, and takes it out on her customers.

No Picture Kenny Lead Player	#2 by Kenny Berg at Jul 9, 1987 at 1:16 PM EST
	I can't believe no one has commented on this song yet! Wow! For starters, I think that there should be talking marks around the word girlfriend. That's the way I always imagined it. And then it puts it into a whole new light. A girl, called "girlfriend", who would do anything for money? Hooker. All of their songs are about hookers and/or Mexico. Why should this be any different? And I love this song. Just the way that they sing it, it's so funny. No one else ever gets it, but. They never see the humour...
