PITNEY GENE - "Town Without Pity" Tablature

"Town Without Pity"
(Dmitri Tiomkin - Ned Washington)

[Notes: 1) the time signature is 12/8, but is notated throughout as 4/4;
2) as usual, the chords notated here are a composite of the various
parts - I don't think there even is a guitar on the record.]
