Subject: TAB: Just the Way You Are  - Billy Joel

Here's a song I arranged years ago, but only just around to typing up and 
posting.  The arrangement is not particularly inspiring but is fairly 
faithful to the keyboard part on the recording.  It should work OK either as 
a guitar solo, or with singing.  Most of it is pretty easy.  Enjoy...
