Billy Paul - Only the strong survive

Only The Strong Survive Released in 1977 this is The Sound Of Philadelphia at it’s best with this Cover from Billy Paul. Reached #33 in UK Charts. Tab by bass50611. Bass line as I see it that is not exact to original. From my days as a DJ in the 70’s I recall there was several versions of this song of various Lengths and ending’s. My tab is for the shorter 7-inch version.
