BLUEBIRD - Robin Trower
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:timn62
Email:timn_62@yahoo.com
Tuning: Tune down 1/2 Step to Eb
Killer tune! I play this on my acoustic so most the chorus I just strum
chords versus sliding up and down (if you've heard the song, you know what
I mean)
