Standard tuning
Comments: Ah, Lionel Richie through the ninds of Faith no more.
My favourite song on the album. Billy Gouls plays things pretty
simple but it?s the swing he has that makes the track come alive.
Watch out for that fast little ditty right before the chorus
though. (This might have been played on a downtuned bass but I?ve
decided to notate it in standard tuning.)
