• Song:

    Blue Shadows

  • Artist:

    Randy Newman

Every tab I found for this song aside from the intro was junk,
so I studied the movie carefully.  Problem is the song modifies
more to piano, so I tried to just go with the spirit of the song.
To be accurate, you've got to tune your strings more flat, but
I think staying in standard tuning is fine. I tried to include
chords to help set up your fingers right.
