Stealin' - Uriah Heep (Ken Hensley, 1973)
Chorded By: Skidaddy, Esq., G.Q.
4/4 TIME @ 112 and 120 BPM (4 Min. 50 Sec.)
NOTE: There's actually no guitar until 'REFRAIN #2', but I included
---- the chords until then so you can play the rhythm on solo guitar.
Thanks also to 'Maguri' for his input on this one.
