Frankie Valli - Can't Take My Eyes off You
Tabbed by: Tim Gilbert
Similar to other versions, but I use different chord voicings in my band, and a few
have been made (minor chord used in verse). I also tabbed the 3rd verse which is in G. It
seem like a long tab, but its very easy to get the hang of, and the chords are easy to fret.
