If I Can't Have You – Yvonne Elliman
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: Barry, Robin & Maurice Gibb
From “Saturday Night Fever – Original Movie Soundtrack” (1977)
Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The recording is somewhere between B and C. I chose the key of C here as
it is much easier to play.
