🎸
Artist: Blondie
Title: "Dreaming"
Album: "Eat to the Beat," "Greatest Hits"
Composed by Debbie Harry, Chris Stein
Tabbed by Chris Clark
I came up with a bit of a cheat for the droning signature riff that
sounds great when done solo on acoustic guitar. Otherwise, play the
single notes like Robert Fripp circa "'Heroes'" with massive
humbucking sustain, etc.
