Stevie Wonder
Isn't She Lovely?
Songs in the Key of Life, 1976
Written by Stevie Wonder
Original Key is C#
Tabbed by Kellie G. (autobahn)
Don't be put off by all the 7ths and 9ths -
it's a very easy (mostly barre) and a repetitively structural song -
the perfect song for learning them (if you're unsure about them).
