Don Go to Strangers Guitar Tablature
DON'T GO TO STRANGERS From "Naturally" 1st album.
Recorded in A
Arranged in Bb

I used to have the tab for this masterpiece, but I seem to have misplaced it.
Anyway, I know the intro by heart, and the rest of the song is basically spun ar
ound the same theme.

INTRO:
                                                                optional
  Gm                Bb              C                 Gm      (turnaround)

try to help!)
