Just One Victory
Written by Todd Rundgren
Tabbed by PXL
Standard Tuning
An difficult song to tab as it was apparently recorded in the key of C and has
since been performed live in the key of B. Each has their advantages, but seeing
as how this is tabbed for acsoutic guitar and it is piano based, the key of C just
works out better on the whole. To play it in B, simply move each Chord down one half step.
Enjoy.
Intro/Bridge jazz chords are tabbed as follows:
