Straight Up Acoustic Chords & Tabs
Artist: Paula Abdul
Song: Straight Up
Tabbed by: Chris Broad (c_broad78@hotmail.com)
I came across a YouTube video of this tune. If you're looking at this tab, then you've
seen the one I'm talking about. I finally decided to take the time and tab this one
If you look at the video, then you'll know this is 100% correct. He does a little more
what's here, but this tab should at least be good for a laugh if you're ever
at a party, or whatever. But enough of my ranting, enjoy!
