If I Was (Acordes)

Band website: http://www.myspace.com/youngrebelset



Capo on 4th fret!



I used to claim in this very spot that the picking was very easy. But after 

getting some E-Mails (and listening to the song closely) I must say it is indeed a 

bit tricky. So I tabbed it out. Note that this is still a slightly simplified 

version. The guitarist plays some more bass notes, but if they were in the tab 

that would only confuse, so I left them out. It will sound great if you play it like this.



If you want the 100% full real tab (or have any other comments) write me at 

herr.rey(at)gmail.com. Have fun! ;)

But I am a poor man so I'll pick them on the way
