Easy Street by Julie London - Guitar Chords
<< Back to Julie London Song List
Version 1 Version 2
This is the only song on the 1955 album "Julie Is Her Name" without a Wikipedia page.
I've tried to get all of Barney Kessel's licks from this album. Maybe 90-95% good.

The 13sus2 chords my teacher would call 13/9, which UG doesn't seem to like. Oh, doesn't like 13sus2 either.
Ditto for the 6sus2 chorcs, he would call those 6/9.
