Song: Straighten Out (Cummings, Wallace) Artist: The Guess Who Album: Road Food Tabber: Nick Gray Email: ngray8725@yahoo.ca Tuning: Standard One very simple song with a couple of interesting jazz chords. The song has a great jazz feel to it. My favorite from the Road Food album. The chords are complimenting the piano.
