Tab Notes

Well. the thing is that this song contains only two dead simple, yet brillant parts (which is just enough content for a million-seller):

a. the „if you want to..“ riff

b. the grammatically incorrect „she don’t lie … “ - riff

 

In a fingerstyle version though, that would be a little boring to repeat those two riffs over and over. But their simplicity makes them a wonderful basis for improvisation. So I just compiled a number of variations - some of them going quite a distance from the original roots - and there a probably thousands more.

 

So this tab sheet contains no song sequence. Make up your own !
