John Farnham: "Burn for you"

I only heard this song a few days ago while auditioning for a band. I was
asked by the band to learn the song for practice. Hopefully I got it right.
The song is taken from the John Farnham album "Full house " from 1991.

I have added some loose strings where avaiable to get a kind of "loose"
and "floating" feel to it. The guitarist on the album uses a bit of
reverb/chorus and achieves a nice floating/12 string kind of sound.

The lyrics and guitar sequence follow after the tab.

Good luck

🎸
