Song: Perfect Strangers
Artist: Deep Purple / Dream Theatre
Tabbed by Stu Jensen (big_pig_truck@yahoo.com.au)
I tabbed the basic bits of this song from both the Dream
Theatre and Deep Purple versions, the Deep Purple version
had some fancier note-work in between bridge and chorus etc,
bust essentially the song is the same.
