Pretty Woman chords by Chris Isaak

Chords with lyrics

--------------------------------------

Tuning: Standard

Comments: This is the kind of song that 99% of the time
your gonna end up killing. Luckily Chris does a good job
on his cover for "Beyond the Sun". Those of you who have
been following Silvertone for years know, Chris has played
this song several times live, though this is the first
time it's been laid down on an official release. The best
part is, Chris allows the song to ring true to Roy's
original version, though it might be just a touch faster tempo wise.

If you know how to play Roy's original version, than you
know how to play Chris's but for those of you who don't,
have at it!
