14 Stevie Wonder - Golden Lady

Stevie Wonder - Golden Lady

This transcription is inspired by the Jose Feliciano post from yesterday. This is one of my favorite songs to play. It comes from Stevie Wonder's Innerversions album (which in my eyes is a perfect album). So, Tune up. It's a very simple song to play and fun to sing along to. Looking around the tab sites, they're not exactly right for the most part. I'm also skipping the piano intro, for lack of time. This should also work with the Jose Feliciano version, but his version would be played samba style w/ bossa style bass alternating.
