Notes: The chords may sound like 7#9s, but there's definitely no major third in them. They're actually minor 7ths voiced with the 7th and 3rd on top, with the low E tuned down to D to allow the root to be played on the lowest string without an otherwise-impossible finger reach: G5F3111322 C111111 D111111 000211 222433 -- another ace 60's tab from Andrew Rogers
