Bette Davis Eyes - Kim Carnes - transcribed by Gary Chapman
=============================
Part of the "tablature you didn't really want but got anyway" series.
The only recording of this song I have is an ancient and in mono. It's
missing the start and the finish. I had trouble deciphering the lyrics.
