Arthur's Theme
Nick Charalambous
I saw this song on another site and simplified it a bit. It is a great song and sounds
perfect with the original. To get the intro, after the strumming the Dm, upstroke and
go to G7, do the same at C but go quick to G then upstroke at F, etc. Impress the ladies with this one!!
