Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The Fleetwoods
Come Softly to Me (1959)
(Gretchen Christopher/Barbara Ellis/Gary Troxel)
Now on “Come Softly To Me - The Very Best Of”
The tab points out the harmonies used throughout the song. When playing
alone, I use the basic pattern to add these beautiful tensions.
