The Best. Tina Turner guitar cover by Phil McGarrick. FREE TABS

I’m playing this song as a tribute to the sad loss of Tina Turner who passed away on 24th May 2023. She was a fantastic singer and will be sadly missed. “The Best” was originally a Bonnie Tyler song. Tina’s cover was released in 1989 for her seventh studio album, Foreign Affair. It became an international chart hit, reaching Platinum certification in the UK. In 1992, Tina re-recorded the track as a duet with Australian singer Jimmy Barnes. Played on my Alan Brason Custom Stratocaster fitted with Kinman FV-HMS pickups on Bridge position into an Alesis Quadraverb Q2 with EFTP patch 0-36. I used a Jeds Peds Fuzz No 44 (Which I built from a kit) for the distorted 2nd half. Sound recorded in Cubase SX6 and edited with the three 4K Video takes made with 3 Panasonic VX870 4K camcorders in Song Vegas Pro 14 I used a FREE YT backing track here :- I made Tabs out of my arrangement which are FREE to download from my website Lyrics I call you when I need you, my heart’s on fire You come to me, come to me wild and wild When you come to me Give me everything I need Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams Speak a language of love like you know what it means MMm, and it can’t be wrong Take my heart and make it strong, baby You’re simply the best Better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I’ve ever met I’m stuck on your heart I hang on every word you say Tear us apart Baby, I would rather be dead In your heart, I see the star of every night and every day In your eyes, I get lost, I get washed away Just as long as I’m here in your arms I could be in no better place You’re simply the best Better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I’ve ever met Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart I hang on every word you say Don’t tear us apart, no, no, no Baby, I would rather be dead Each time you leave me, I start losing control You’re walking away with my heart and my soul I can feel you even when I’m alone Oh baby, don’t let go Ooh, you’re the best, ooh Better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I’ve ever met Ooh, I’m stuck on your heart I hang on every word you say Don’t tear us apart, no, no Baby, I would rather be dead You’re the best Ooh, you’re simply the best Better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I’ve ever met I’m stuck on your heart, baby I hang on every word you say Don’t tear us apart, no, no, no Baby, I would rather be dead Oh, you’re the best You’re better than all the rest Better than anyone Anyone I’ve ever met Ooh, you’re the best
