Variations
-----------------------------
- Use G#6 instead of G#7 for more jazzy atmosphere.
Both G#6 and G#7 works.
One of them is easier depending on your play style.
It's your choice to use G#6 instead of G#7 to give more jazzy atmosphere.
I recommend to try both finger positions below.

Motivation and referred tabs
-----------------------------
This guitar tab aims at a song "Dream a little dream of me" by Laura Fygi.
To save time and effort, I refered to tabs by Olive7#5 and Franz Lemmermeyer
(hb3@aixterm3.urz.uni-heidelberg.de) at http://www.ultimate-guitar.com.
Even if the referred tabs are excellent, chords in those tabs give different voices and
inadequent for the song by Laura Fygi.
It looks like the reference tabs are for the song by mamas and papas, Mama Cass. I
chords in those two tabs and my own variations transcribed for the song by Laura Fygi.
