   Becker & Fagen

This is a great track from the Katy Lied release from 1975. This
tab is the work of the transcriber and I am solely responsible
for any errors or omissions. (Sorry if you find any) This is my
first attempt at Tab, so be kind. The chord forms are the ones
that I use and I vary them. In some places the inversions sound
better and in others basic first position chords sound fine too.
Experiment with it!
