(Something from Tennessee Williams)



 

written by Michel BERGER

sung by Johnny Hallyday and Michel Jonasz

 
version française
This is a fine french song about Tennessee Williams,  the famous American playwright ( A Streetcar Named Desire, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Rose Tatooed, The Glass Menagerie and many other plays....)  . I had seen the musical score in the eighties and I tabbed the song from memory. Three electric guitars and a bass are used . The second guitar is used only in the instrumental parts  . The first guitar is played with chorus. You can hear a MP3 demo that I recorded myself.
