Scorpions - Still Loving You
Love at First Sting (1984)
Original recording is a bit sharp so it's somewhere between Gm and G#m pitchwise, but played as Gm.
The Comeblack re-recording (2011) is tuned down a 1/2 step so is in F#m.
All chords in the chorus/solo/outro sections can be played as power chords.
Tempo = c. 50 bpm or 100 bpm with a half-time feel, speed up slightly as the
song progresses (tab is written as the latter).

Gm/Eb and Ebmaj7 are essentially the same, I've called it Gm/Eb to begin with as it
follows the same pattern of arpeggiating the Gm triad with a different bass note.
