Song title:      Walking On Sunshine
Original Album:  Katrina & The Waves (1985)

Words and Music by Kimberley Rew
Copyright © 1985 Capitol Records Inc.
Published by EMI Music Publishing Ltd.

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.
