TEARS
by Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grappelli
tablature by Jonathan Byrd
Note: This song was originally written in the key of Cm, but I have
transposed it to Am. I have heard at least three different
arrangements of this tune by Django, and one by Chet Atkins, and I
have borrowed bits from all of them, in addition to putting in some of
my own stuff.
Anyway, I hope you like it.
