When My Little Girl Is Smiling
This the original recording by American vocalist’s The Drifters.
Single peaked at number 31 in 1962 UK Charts. Tab by bass50611.
Welcome to my version of this sixties classic. Just be aware
that the original key is not in pitch so you may want to re-tune.
To me it is nearer D than Eb. My tab is in D
