Eagle-Eye Cherry - Save Tonight
(from the album "Desireless")
Chords by Felix Oelmann (pyxis@t-online.de)
Now that's what I call a beautiful song....
Eagle-Eye appeared live on the German TV-show "Geld oder Liebe"
along with 2 other guitarists. Although this is not what he played,
I think it's fairly correct (after all, there are just 4 chords repeated
over and over)
The lyrics probably need some correction, have a look for yourselves...
