Take Good Care Of My Baby
I've taken this from the original recording from 1980
with Chris Norman on lead vocal.
Great version with the key change ~ note the pause dot
over the F note. The outro I've altered slighty at
the as it sounds better on stage. Any comments email me at:bass254@btinternet.com
