Standard Tuning (EADGBe)

Chords:
G ? 320003
[F]N.C. [-]? [133211]No Chord Played
h - Hammer on
p - Pull Off
/ - Slide to/from note

This song has uses a lot of dotted notes for a more rag-y feel to it, which can?t be
in this tab. I tabbed this the best I could, but dotted rhythms are hard to tab for
If you?ve listened to the song (I?m sure you have), be sure to abide by this rhythm.

INTRO:
G (ring) F F N.C. x4
(repeat pattern)
The last 2 times I play this chord progression (and the rest of the song), I play G
in order to emphasize percussion, but I left the extra G out so you can play the song how it
played on the organ.

VERSE 1:
G F F N.C.
I?m slowly turning into you
But you [G]don?t know this
F F N.C.
To be true
You say I?m [G]lying and I never really
F F N.C.
Tell you the truth
G F F N.C.
But your face is getting older
G F F N.C. G F F N.C.
So put your head on my shoulder.
G F F N.C. G F F N.C.
Yeah put your head on my shoulder.

VERSE 2:
G F F N.C.
Yesterday it hit me that I do
All the [G]little things
F F N.C.
That you do
Except those [G]same little things
That you [F]do
F N.C.
Are annoying.
G F F N.C.
They?re annoying as hell in fact
G F F N.C.
It kind of struck a little bell in fact
G F F N.C.
I like to keep my little shell intact.

VERSE 3:
G F F N.C.
Then something else came to mind
And that was the [G]mirror
F F N.C.
It made everything clearer
G F F N.C.
That you?re more beautiful
Compelling and [G]stronger
F F N.C.
It didn?t take much longer
G F F N.C.
Just for me to realize
I love all the [G]little things
F F N.C.
And the beauty that they?re gonna bring
G F F N.C.
I dig your little laugh
And I?m loving your [G]quick wit
F F N.C.
I even love it when you?re faking it!
G F F N.C.
And this might sound a little strange
For me to [G]say to you

But
F F N.C.
I?m proud to be you.

G F F N.C. x4 (keep playing through guitar solo)
