Secret Love

Secret Love: Doris Day (1954) Capo on #2
 
Doris sings this song with fluctuating tempos, and the instrumental is a
fast regular 4/4 time. For a guitar solo, I prefer to sing this as a
straight 4/4 with a regular slow to medium tempo. I have taken some small
licence with the outro, as the original ends a bit abruptly.
