Impressions - Youve Been Cheating guitar tab

#

Chi-town does Motown in this curious battle between Chicago horns and

Detroit strings. I guess the arranger (probably Johnny Pate) couldn't

decide between Chicago backbeats (one-and-TWO-and-three-AND-four-AND)

vs. Motown backbeats (one-TWO-three-FOUR), so he left them out... play

along with the record and let me know which you prefer. -- AWR
