                            "LOVE SONG" off LP "Tumbleweed Connection" (1970)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Les Gibson
 
Tuning: Standard.
 
Lovely acoustic ballad written by Lesley Duncan, recorded by Elton on the much underrated
early album Tumbleweed Connection: really simple to play.
 
This is the elton john version of the song; NOT the Lesley Duncan version.

Have your eyes really seen?
