AS - Stevie Wonder
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed By : Dave L.
Tuning:Standard
Key: Ebm
Resolution: 1/16
5-string is handy...
There are subtle differences in Verse A and Verse B
The first chorus does *not* have the 4646 hammer riff!
Try the intro and verses down a string and up 5 frets; easier for small hands.
I left off the nuances to keep the tab clean and timing tight.
