(The) Little River Band - (The) Night Owl
 
I've heard this both played fast with electric guitars and slow in a wonderful 
bluesy way - and both sound great! It can be found on 'Greatest Hits' and 'Streams 
of success'.

I searched everywhere for a tab for this but couldn't find one anywhere . So I 
listened hard and set about creating my own. This is what I hear - but it's my 
first attempt and no doubt with mistakes, so please send me suggestions for 
improvements if you know better!
