Hợp âm - tab: Boy Child - cảm âm - lời bài hát

Boy Child by Scott Walker
From the album Scott 4
Tabbed by Lee ([email protected])

Hello, this is a fairly loose attempt at tabbing Scott Walker's 'Boy Child'
for guitar, ideally some spacey sound that would carry fairly minimal chord
parts and those lovely melodies. There are some recommended chord voicings at
the bottom of the page - they're meant to be minimal and kind of in line with
the strings. Hope this is useful to somebody... Lee x
