This is my first tab and I wanna give a try on figuring out the chords for The Subways's 
and lovely tune Strawberry Blonde
(my fav track on their album "All or Nothing").
In fact the chords are a bit wrong, because there are variation chords, but I used kinda 
chords, so even amateurs are able to
play along with the CD. Maybe I do the "original" version too one day...
