Strawberry Blonde

The Subways

Text File

This is my first tab and I wanna give a try on figuring out the chords for The Subways's 
and lovely tune Strawberry Blonde
(my fav track on their album "All or Nothing").
In fact the chords are a bit wrong, because there are variation chords, but I used kinda 
chords, so even amateurs are able to
play along with the CD. Maybe I do the "original" version too one day...

Tuning: standard
Capo: no

Chords used:
------------
C*  (032030)
C   (032010)
Em7 (022003)

G#m (466444)
C#m (x46654)
F#  (244322)

* All chords with a "*" I dunno the exact name, so please help me out! All helpers will 
credited ;)
Of course all other mistakes u find will cause your name to be credited.

Addition: I'm too tired now (it's 6:20 am) but I will add the guitar 2 riffs which are 
while guitar 1 plays B7 and also while guitar 1 plays the chorus chords when I get the time.

Cheers!
