MINSTREL GIGOLO – Christopher Cross
                  (C majorC Cross)
              [Christopher Cross (1979)]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: varannion

Tuning: standard (solo)

The guitar solo is performed by Eric Johnson. I believe the song itself is
played in open D MajorD (D,A,D,F#,A,D) tuning. I'm pretty sure the chords are correct,
but have not determined the appropriate fingerings for a guitar tuned to open D.
