Album: East Side story
Tabbed by: DJ 14th Oct 2012
NOTE: The original record is sharp of standard pitch.
Use a chromatic tuner and tune-up all the strings
approx. +30 above standard tuning. Alternatively,
play along with a live version, which is more likely
to be in standard pitch.
(Will then sound in the recorded approx. key of B)
I would suggest using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
