Biography:
The Fleetwoods were a singing trio from Olympia, Washington, United States; formed in the late 1950s. They were responsible for the hit song "Come Softly to Me". The song was originally called "Come Softly", and the group was originally named Two Girls and a Guy, but both were changed en route to the song becoming a hit.
Gary Troxel (b. November 28, 1939, Centralia, Washington) and Gretchen Christopher (b. February 29, 1940, Olympia, Washington) were two high school students waiting for Christopher's mother to pick them up after school.

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard
The Fleetwoods
Outside my Window (1959)
(David/Edwards)
Now on “Come Softly To Me - The Very Best Of”
The tuning is somewhere in between Bb and B on the recording. For
playability I’d suggest transposing the song to A and then use a capo
1st fret (Bb) or 2nd fret (B).
