CD-Whitey Ford Sings the Blues

Tabbed by: Michael Ortiz        Date Tabbed: 2/24/00

Standard Tuning: E, A, D, G, B, E

        These Tabs are 100% correct to me.  Ever since 2/24/00 I have been learning this song in Kalamazoo, MI.  
I live in Colorado Springs, CO and I have been working on perfecting this song.  It is now 2/23/00, over a 
work of labor has been put into this song, so trust me when I say that these Tabs are correct!

Bridge

(This is exactly like Intro #1, no changes.  The only thing that you have to do is that you need to play 
through 6 times!  For easy reference I put the Intro that you need to play below.)

Outro!)
