The Waltones: She Looks Right Through Me

I just bought one of them. I really like your group. Top quality stuff.

Great band. But, doa67,... "everyone in the world pretended to have a Manc accent"? Well, maybe everyone in *your* world...

I was blessed to have been born a Manc and be 18 year old in '87. You could tell something big was going to happen in the City but the 3 years between 87 & 89 before everyone in the world pretended to have a Manc accent were just unbelievable. The Waltones, The Railway Children, Man From Delmonte, King of the Slums, Dub Sex, The Exhuberants (was I their only fan?). The Fall and James, Inspiral Carpets, The Mondays and Roses in small venues with just a couple of hundred people there. Good times!

Such a great band. Still one of my favourites of all time and I regularly listen to them 20 years after I first heard them, simply because they beat nearly everything else on my iPod.

Saw them a few times back then. Once in The Hacienda and definitely in The Boardwalk a couple of times.

If you check out the myspace page there's a blog which consists of defunct Manchester venues

Wow I thought I knew every obscure jangly band from the 80s on both sides of pond but this is a welcome surprise. Fantastic track.

Harmonica in Special 20 was kind of an after- thought. That wasn't how we did it live. We had an idea of a 7" and 12" version of the song - so we extended it with the harmonica bit and some extra lyrics.
Burning Conscience was kind of re-worked at the last minute too. We used to play it slower and Manny sang it. The recorded version had a changed beat, a harder sound and me on vocals

You can play it all in first position with out much trouble.
It's mostly D through the verses and then A (lifting your finger off to get A 7) under "She just looks right through me..." Change to G at the "I tell you why I feel so low" part.
The big chord change at the end (final time it goes "I tell you why I feel so .... LOW) into the final section is an E.
