Dont Go to Strangers

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

Tabbed by Fredrik Koller Lund (s212@ii.uib.no)

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 around the same theme.

INTRO:

optional

(Then there's a solo part over the same theme.)

(If any of you have trouble figuring this one out: Send me a mail and I'll

try to help!)

(Song starts:)

I hope you enjoy it, but remember: If you want to play along with the

recorded version you'll have to rearrange it in A.
