This is an ok song..i tabbed it for my lesser talented (hah) friend as a favor and i
figured i'd post it here since no one has tabbed it and its so easy..

i had my guitar tuned in drop D when i learned this so that's how it is here..if you're in
standard then just move everything from the lower D string down 2 frets.

to get into drop D tune your low E string DOWN until it registers a perfect D on your tuner, or
until the E string's 7 fret sounds identical to the A string.  I just strum both E and A while
i tune E down and when it sounds like a sweet power chord you're there.


INTRO / CHORUS

2 ways to play this, its your preference depending on how much you want to move your hand.

VERSE/CHORUS TRANSITION
G|---------------|

A|---------------|

PLAY CHORUS PT 1, then 2, then 1 again, then:

then the second part of the chorus "it could be me, it could be you"

Chorus part 3:

D|2-2-7-|
A|2-2-7-|  X 2
D|2-2-7-|

CHORUS/VERSE TRANSITION

(touch the string lightly when you do this..don't press it down, it has a
sort of harmonic sound to it)

D|3-3-3-3-3-3-3|


PLAY BOTH PARTS OF THE VERSE AGAIN

Play VERSE/CHORUS TRANSITION

PLAY chorus pt 1, 2, 1, 3.

Bridge X 4:  I think there's some wah action in this.  i dont have a wah but this sounds alright:

D|------------4-4-4-5-5-5-4-5-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5|
A|5-5-5-7-7-7----------------------------------------------|

Play the whole chorus deal twice and then she'll end the song whispering "tonight."
I think it sounds retarded to leave it blank there so when the end of the song comes
i just play this

D|-2-2-|
A|-2-2-| and then let it up quickly.  but its not really part of the song..just a suggestion.
D|-2-2-|


im pretty sure this is right other than the bridge because of the wah.  (my friends version
didn't have the wah in it...)

also..i know i put 2 ways to play all of the parts, for your convenience!
