Written by: Randy Newman
From: "Sail Away" (1972)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Hardly a guitar song, but it works, I think.
It's difficult to reproduce the intro because of all the suspended notes.
I left them out and just put the straight chords here.
Listen to my demo recording, so you know what the tab sounds like:
