Tuning: Standard
The Idle Race, the band Jeff Lynne was in before he joined the Move
(and therefore - before ELO). I am surprised that they are not already
in the Ultimate Guitar database, so thought I'd post one.
(Here's a link to their biog - they have long since split.

The F D chord sequence at the end of the verses is the same as the intro riff.
The F might be better as an Fmaj7, the F sounds right to me. Also, I am not
sure that the guitar fill after the first chorus is right, it's very
fast and I'm not particularly good at picking those bits up. I play
rhythm more than lead, so...
Corrections and comments welcome.
