(The) Little River Band - (The) Night Owl
Ive heard this both played fast with electric guitars and slow in a wonderful
bluesy way and both sound great! It can be found on Greatest Hits and Streams
of success.
I searched everywhere for a tab for this but couldnt find one anywhere. So I
listened hard and set about creating my own. This is what I hear but its my
first attempt and no doubt with mistakes, so please send me suggestions for
improvements if you know better!
