"‘Back To The Old House’ I wrote with my wife in mind."
- Johnny Marr
This was one of the first Marr pieces I learned to play, and it's one of my favorites.
A reader, Coxy, was nice enough to send in these scans of the transcription from Total Guitar magazine. I have also uploaded the mp3 backing tracks from the Total Guitar cd here.
You can compare them to the 2 Guitar Pro files that I have uploaded here(right click to save).
Here is the complete score from the "Louder Than Bombs:Off The Record" book:
Video-wise, we start off with eluedy's near-flawless version:

I have been trying to find this same issue, Total Guitar May 1995, for the U2 Pride tab. It isn't avaiable anywhere. Can you send me the Pride tab? I would be very greatful. If you find the time, please send it to U2pride999@hotmail.com. Thanks.
Sorry to be blunt, but this is about the last place on earth you'll find U2 guitar tabs. Try ebay.
Hi Thom,
The link to the Back to the Old House CD mgp3 is not working. Can you kindly have it fixed?
Thanks.
Thom,

There's some pretty tasty work here. I note everyone is doing the Hatful version rather than the Bombs version which has a slightly different 'bridge' part.
For those of you who are wondering about the slide, is a C-shape chord but just on the A and D strings as I recall. And it's definitely on the record as you can hear the strings squeal when he does it. That particular slide is cool move it's used a lot in pop/rock.
Hey Thom, I've been using your site for awhile now and I just wanted to stop and say thank you. You've done a great job finding all this info and putting it up, it's super appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the comment, anonymous!
Great site, thanks a lot
Thank you for this site. I may be working on these songs for the rest of my life but it is well worth it. Thanks again.
