--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turn of the Century – Bee Gees --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard A little bit of a guilty pleasure but this tune is just so catchy! Not a guitar song as such but still nice to play and sing. In the Bee Gees' version the main instrument is a harpsichord. In order to get the feel I mostly use the voicings suggested below and strike them hard and short with a plec in the first part of the verses. The rest (starting with the C chord) can be strummed ad lib.
