The original Shadows tune is in the key of ‘E’ but I could only find a backing track in ‘G’. I made this arrangement by taking some ideas from Hank’s playing and listening to Cliff Richards vocals. This cover does not represent exactly what Hank plays, this is more of my own version.
You can get the backing track from ‘Karaoke Version’ for £1.99, you will need to select the option to customize it and remove the lead vocals and two guitar tracks.

Whenever I hear this tune it reminds me of the late Rik Mayall who was one of my favourites in British comedy.
