光輝歲月 -- guitar tablature #bf-1
This song, unlike most of the pop songs,
talks about the racial discrimination.
This kind of song is rare in Hong Kong before Beyond.

The lead guitar, with some modulation and reverb,
plays the fill-in and all the solo.
Also, there is an acoustics guitar plays the rhythm too.
The song's tempo is 72 and the key is F.
(This tab is long and complicate, better print it out first.)
Play this song soulfully!
