What About Me?
View chords used in this chart
You might prefer to play all of the choruses using the Emaj7 chord instead of the
standard E chord which I've written in the tab...depends what you prefer.
Also, you may want to change A to A(add9) which is x02200
I think it sounds good like I've written it out though. :o)
