Biografia:
The Fleetwoods were a singing trio from Olympia, Washington, United States; formed in the late 1950s. They were responsible for the hit song "Come Softly to Me". The song was originally called "Come Softly", and the group was originally named Two Girls and a Guy, but both were changed en route to the song becoming a hit.
Gary Troxel (b. November 28, 1939, Centralia, Washington) and Gretchen Christopher (b. February 29, 1940, Olympia, Washington) were two high school students waiting for Christopher's mother to pick them up after school.

Mr. Blue - The Fleetwoods
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: DeWayne Blackwell
Recorded in 1959
Now on: "Come Softly To Me - The Very Best of The Fleetwoods"
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The instrumental backing of this beautiful track is really low in the mix,
so some of this is guesswork/interpretation (or simply a matter of taste).
Anyway, what is here works well with the original. You may add minor 7s to
the minor chords whenever you think it's fitting or include some notes from
the harmonies into the guitar chords and create your own version.
Feedback and suggestions for improvement are highly welcome.

Our guardian star lost all his glow

The day that I lost you

He lost all his glitter the day you said no

And his silver turned to blue

Like him, I am doubtful that your love is true

But if you decide to call on me

Ask for Mr. Blue
