James Tommy - Crimson & Clover guitar tab

"Crimson And Clover"

(Tommy James - Peter Lucia)

[Notes: 1) This is a deceptively simple song; like Jefferson Airplane's

"Somebody To Love", there are only four chords in it, but no two verses

are identical. 2) Tommy James played all the guitar parts on this, and

he usually played in open E; you might want to try it.]
