I Am A Child Tab

   
//most of this version of the song I pilaged from Jeff Monkman in his youtube cover
"I Am A Child ---- Neil Young (cover)" the link is
 compare results to the video because he still plays it better than what i 
he graduated from berklee college of music and I am 15 it kinda makes sense.\\


In the begining of the song I use half chords on the 3 and fifth frets. the one on the
fret i am labling (D) and the one on the third (G).  this is a great song have fun.
