Strawberry Blonde Tabs & Lyrics by Ron Sexsmith
Strawberry Blonde
guitar tabs lyrics
This is my first tab and I wanna give a try on figuring out the chords for The Subways's
and lovely tune Strawberry Blonde
(my fav track on their album "All or Nothing").
In fact the chords are a bit wrong, because there are variation chords, but I used kinda
chords, so even amateurs are able to
play along with the CD. Maybe I do the "original" version too one day...
Tuning: standard
Capo: no
Chords used:
------------

* All chords with a "*" I dunno the exact name, so please help me out! All helpers will
credited ;)
Of course all other mistakes u find will cause your name to be credited.
Addition: I'm too tired now (it's 6:20 am) but I will add the guitar 2 riffs which are
while guitar 1 plays B7 and also while guitar 1 plays the chorus chords when I get the time.
Cheers!
