"Crimson And Clover"
(Tommy James - Peter Lucia)

[Notes: 1) This is a deceptively simple song; like Jefferson Airplane's
"Somebody To Love", there are only four chords in it, but no two verses
are identical.  2) Tommy James played all the guitar parts on this, and
he usually played in open E; you might want to try it.]
