Subject: TAB: Staying Alive - Bee Gees
Posted by:STU_M1CAMPBE@vax1.acs.jmu.edu (MELISSA A CAMPBELL)

Here is the tab to "Stayin' Alive." The song is in the key of A flat,
but all the Ds are played as natural instead of flattened. I have put
the chords under the tab charts instead of over the lyrics. The chord
changes appear to be few and far between; that is just because of the
fast 4/4 tempo.
By the way, could someone please, please, please post the tab to "Don't
Stand So Close to Me" by the Police?
Exceed your disk quo,
Proceed to disco. :)
