          Games People Play – The Alan Parsons Project
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Alan Parsons/Eric Woolfson
From: "The Turn Of A Friendly Card" (1980)

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

This is the original key. Maybe a little easier to play: transpose -2 
to Am and then use a capo 2nd fret to match the recording. I added tabs
and chord voicings for both options below.
