STILL AS THE NIGHT - Duane Eddy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: harrytheblurfan
This was originally by Sanford Clark, I believe, but featured Duane Eddy on the
guitar and has been covered a few times in recent years. Most notably by the
Crystal Stilts on their Radiant Door EP and Richard Hawley who also performed
it with Duane Eddy. Anyway, I can't find any tabs for it (or even lyrics!) so
here they are.
In the break you can either play the first notes or the chords, both sound
good so it's up to you.
