----------------------------------------------------------------- The Champion - Willie Mitchell ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Iain Peters Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard EADGBe http://www.williemitchell.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v_yN7DpnWI After hearing of Willie Mitchell's passing this year, I've decided to attempt to tab this Northern Soul Classic. (I'm quite surprised nobody has taken the time to tab this awesome track before) Enjoy.
