Well nobody seems to get the correct tab of the song especially the intro. It’s kind of
so I decided to share it. I think my versions 100% correct. But lets reduce it to 99.99%
can’t be too sure. This is a very beautiful song and I dedicate it to all the Jessie’s
the world and to all who loves this song, I made this for you…. Ant to all
in the world, Rock ON! And hello to my bandmates Yeye, Lea, Vianney and Mark…hey guys,
jam this vacation! Enjoy this tab!

Legend:
h-hammer on, p-pull off, /-slide to, hb-half-bend(you just strike that note and push it
while its vibrating (direction to the ceiling to get the 9 note, it makes the sound
that’s why)
Intro: just pluck the bass notes and strum downwards. Sounds perfect.

Adlib:
GUITAR 1
Part 1 (The tiniwniwniniw part) I’m sure about this
I think it was played on an electric organ or something I don’t know…it’s kinda trembling
e|--12---------12--------12-----------14-----------|
B|-----14---------14--------13h14p12-----14---10---|
G|--------13---------13----------------------------| 2 times

E|-------------------------------------------------|
Part 2
(Well, I looked at my tab collection and I noticed somebody has already tabbed this
but I think mines better and I guarantee you I never copied it, and I figured it all out for
only two minutes, swear!)
I started on the ninth fret so it goes along in transition from Part 1.
e|--------------14r---14p12-12-5---10p9h10--5----5-5h7—8hb----|
B|--9h10-10/12------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------|
Note: the last note 8hb(note C), should be nine, or (C#), but if you bend it, it sounds
like I explained in the legend above.
GUITAR 2 solo: just do the intro and refrain chords 1 time, or whatever goes along, I
bothered because it’s easy to figure out.
Refrain 2
DM7 A
And I’ve known a girl or two
DM7 A
But none of them was you
DM7 A
And they could never be
B7sus E
What you are to me….eh….
