 Artist: John Cougar Mellencamp
 Song: Jack and Diane
 Tuning: Standard
 Tabbed by: Matthew Gray
 Email: pink_zeppelin_matthamue@yahoo.com

 This is my first tab and I think this is pretty accurate.
 I've looked everywhere for a good tab for this song, But they
 where all pretty mixed up so this is the best i can do to
 translate it for all you looking for a decent tab of it.You'll
 need an electric and an acustic for both parts. If you have any
 questions just email me. Good Luck
