EBONY EYES By Bob Welch From the FRENCH KISS album, 1977 Bob Welch was one of the great guitarists to find their way through the Fleetwood Mac family. He was the guitarist right before Lindsey Buckingham. Along with Christine McVie he wrote the hit Hypnotized. He is also responsible for Sentimental Lady (you can find that tab with the Fleetwood Mac stuff). Mystery Train was another hit penned for Fleetwood Mac by Bob Welch. French Kiss was his solo effort after leaving the band. It contains a memorable little riff.
