Biografia:
The Spinners is a soul music vocal group, active for over 50 years, and with a long run of pop and R&B hits especially during the 1970s. The group, originating from Detroit, still tours regularly as of 2011.

SONG: LIVING A LITTLE, LAUGHING A LITTLE
ARTIST: THE SPINNERS

E-MAIL: guitarzan7@hotmail.com
NOTE: This tab is for the version linked to the video above
which is the short version of the song.
The one that UG has at the bottom of the page is the
longer version and not the one that I tabbed out.
The main differences are that in the longer version
the INTRO is played twice and at the end of my tab
the CHORUS is played multiple times and using
additional lyrics.
This tab would also suit that version as well keeping
This in mind.
