If It Means A Lot To You Chords & Tabs
If It Means A Lot To You Tab
I know that it says it's in standard tuning and i lied...it's a whole step down...sorry
the mix up. i've been seeing alot of tabs and online covers using a capo and even
whole step down and 3rd fret capo on standard sound the same, i try to play as close as
the album version as possible. so i took the time to make this tab a whole step down. few
but i think listening over and over to the song, you'll be able to make those corrections.
*corrections were made and currently working on leads in the verses and chorus*
