Flaming Pie - Paul McCartney

Here's the source of this page... http://home.pi.net/~hertgers/flampie.html

[ Song List ]

I found Arie Hertgers' page while looking for "Young Boy", a song from "Flaming Pie" that Stephanie wanted me to learn.  Stumbling upon Arie's page was a nice bonus.  Not only does it have the chords for "Young Boy", but for the entire album!  So, I grabbed a copy to make sure I'd have quick access to it.

Thanks, Arie!

By the way... the only difference between the page you're reading and the original page is that I replaced Arie's introductory stuff (and an access counter) with the text you're reading.

One thing not deleted from the introductory section is the following disclaimer...

Thanks to Lyman Golden for all the work on the little details in the chords and tabs !!
