Handbags and Gladrags
by Russell Reading
Based loosely on a tab originally transcribed by Ian McAllister


This is the "easy to play" version, as the "correct"
version has Capo on 3rd fret and uses G, G7, C and C/D
but sounds essentially the same, (probably).

All you need is the progression A A7 D E with two strums
on each, (then getting fancy oncy you have it down).

Capo on 1st
