Guilty - Randy Newman --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I integrated the notes played by strings and woodwind into the chords. Sounds disturbing but that’s what the song is. If that feels too hard one can always leave out all the strange notes and play the second and third verse using the same chords as in the first one. I made a quick demo of what this tab sounds like.
