Dance Tonight Chords & Tabs
Artist: Paul McCartney
Album: Memory Almost Full
Song: Dance Tonight
Mandolin arranged for acoustic guitar
If you can, try playing the chords more like this
F C Bb
13 12 10
13 13 11
14 12 10
15 14 12
x x x
x x x
With that extra note added on
I used shortened chords in the tab because the above
chords are difficult to play on most acoustic guitars
