		Mr. Blue - The Fleetwoods
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

The Fleetwoods 
Mr. Blue (1959)
(DeWayne Blackwell)

Now on: "Come Softly To Me - The Very Best of The Fleetwoods"

The instrumental backing of this beautiful track is really low in the mix, 
so some of this is guesswork/interpretation (or simply a matter of taste). 
Anyway, what is here works well with the original. You may add minor 7s to 
the minor chords whenever you think it's fitting or include some notes from 
the harmonies into the guitar chords and create your own version.

Feedback and suggestions for improvement are highly welcome.
Enjoy!
