Styx - Sweet Madam Blue guitar tab
Your rating:
# From: dan@saab.hwcae.az.Honeywell.COM (Dan Baderman) Flash back time.... OK - I said it before but I need to repeat this disclaimer - for those of you who want exact notes/timing - get the recording. I learned this puppy off an 8-trk tape ~15? years ago. I play the intro every once in a while when I'm fooling around, and this is how I remember it. I'm not even sure what the name is.... the request was for _Madam Blue_, but then during correspondance wrote (sweet) Madam Blue... Anyways this is my recollection: Sweet Madam Blue (STYX) (as per d.badermans hazy memory....)
