Song: Spooky
Artist: Classics IV
Music:  Mike Shapiro and Harry Middlebrooks Jr.
Lyrics: James Cobb and Buddy Buie

Tabbed by DJ   15th Oct 2012

PLEASE NOTE:
'Classics IV' recorded different versions in the keys
of Em and also in Fm. The most commonly heard mix on
compilation albums is in Fm, so use a capo at the
first fret for that one.
By the late 1990's, the bands' vocalist, Dennis Yost,
dropped the key down for live performances to Dm, use
the transpose function set to (-2) to display chords 
in Dm for that one.

Atlanta Rhythm Section's cover version has a key
change, it starts off in Em and then modulates
up a semi-tone to Fm.

I would recommend using the voicings in the text
column numbers below.
Regarding the CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS please follow the
information at the bottom of the tab.

Em7    = 079787 or 022030
Em7/B  = 779787 or x22030
A13    = 575675 or x02022
A#dim7 = xx8989 or x12020
Bm7    = 797777 or x20202 or x24232

N.C. = No chords  ^ = Emphasise the syncopated beats
