Published by EMI Music Publishing Ltd. Transcribed by Gavin Chart (contactus@gartfrets.net) NOTES: The recorded song is played mainly on organ and electric piano. One of these uses its horn settings. The song is in the key of Bb, which is a grisly key for a guitar tuned to standard. I would just play barrés because, with barré chords, you can mimic the horn part. Timing is 4/4. Guitar Figure 1 is the basic figure for the song and is played in the INTRO and VERSEs.
