Turn of the Century ? Bee Gees
 
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
A little bit of a guilty pleasure but this tune is just so catchy! Not a guitar song as
but still nice to play and sing. In the Bee Gees' version the main instrument is a harpsichord.
In order to get the feel I mostly use the voicings suggested below and strike them hard and
short with a plec in the first part of the verses. The rest (starting with the C chord) can be
strummed ad lib.
