Jimmy Ruffin - What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted Chords & Tabs

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 What Becomes of the Brokenhearted - Jimmy Ruffin/The Funk Brothers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Michael Smif
Email: 
Time: 4/4
Tuning: Standard

-The chords in this song are not standard inversions. Many of them are played 
over bass notes that aren't the root notes.  

-Im going to use the tab-template only to show the inversions of the chords, so 
ignore the chords that pop up when you scroll over the names of them.  

-After the tabbed chords are the chord progressions in correct order with the 
song's structure.

-Lastly, the chords may sound a little funny by themselves but, if you play them 
along with the song, you will hear how the chords clearly fit in the song.
