Artist: Bryan Ferry
Song: Don't stop the dance
Tabbed by: DJ
6th May 2014

Basically a simple 3 chord song with alternating bass notes.

Am  =  x02210   Am/G = 302210
Em  =  xx2000   Em/D = xx0000
Dm  =  xx0231   Dm/C = x30231

[N.B. I chose not to indicate them, but strictly speaking,
adding the alternative bass notes makes them minor seventh chords]
