Free Fallin - John Mayer
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: bkelly2028@gmail.com
Email: bkelly2028@gmail.com
Tuning: Standard, Capo 3
This is a far more involved version than any other tab out there at the moment.
For the verses and chorus's that are finger plucked,
there are about 3 different licks or variations that John plays.
Try to alternate or cycle between all 3, depending what fits where
with the lyrics. play around with it and have fun. Any comments,
good or bad, please email me. This is my first tab so
sorry if its not the best layout. If anyone is have trouble
and would like me to post a youtube video of me playing it,
let me know.
