Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
Bee Gees
King and Country (1973)
(Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb)
B-Side of single “Wouldn't I Be Someone”
Re-released on “Tales of the Brothers Gibb” (CD 2)
The recording features Barry Gibb’s acoustic guitar with an open tuning.
This tab has chords for regular tuning, but I chose some shapes that
reproduce some of the open voicings if possible.
