Artist: Bryan Ferry
Song: Don't stop the dance
Tabbed by: DJ
6th May 2014
Basically a simple 3 chord song with alternating bass notes.
Am = x02210 Am/G = 302210
Em = xx2000 Em/D = xx0000
Dm = xx0231 Dm/C = x30231
[N.B. I chose not to indicate them, but strictly speaking,
adding the alternative bass notes makes them minor seventh chords]
