Song: Calling You (J Steele version)
Artist: Jevetta Steele
Songwriter: Bob Telson
Chors/Tab analysis: Mats Fagergren
version, see you tube: https://youtu.be/hPPS0_rqwcw
Several versions exist on UG when it comes to this fantastic song.
I Like the "J Steele" version.
I have included both tabs and chords including updated interlude as well as
the ending (that have some new chords/tabs)
The Chords = tabs.
The finger picking/chords require that your fingers are long and
and stretchy, so I have arranged the chords and tabs with:
******************************
* Capo on the third (3) fret *
* *
