Cline Eddie - Blue Side Of The Street guitar tab
This song was written in the late 1960's by Eddie Cline, and is one of my
favorites by him. Eddie CLine was a Canadian Country Artist who in my
opinion had "the right stuff" to make it, but unfortunately did not. He
recorded two records / cassettes with some very good music on them.
Tragically he died in 1999. I am the son he never knew, and the only one of
his children that inherited any kind of musical gene. I am submitting this
song as a tribute to him, and will submit the other 21 songs as time goes
on. Thank you, I hope you enjoy it. (To get a copy of this recording,

you free of charge)
