Vic, this is in response to your observation in another post that we need more early Hollies, Who, Kinks, etc. in the ESD. Here's one from the Hollies. Although Long Cool Woman is my favorite Hollies song (thanks Wes!), I still enjoy a lot of their earlier stuff. Major credit for the tab goes to the late/great Andrew Rogers (RIP). I just inserted something to pass for the solo part.

Thanks Rodders . . . I'm Alive and Look Through Any Window were the first songs by the Hollies I can remember hearing by them. So very early stuff. This may jog your memory: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV_d_Y7GbKI Note the very young Graham Nash!
