Lianne La Havas

Tom original: Bm Capotraste: Sem capotraste Acordes: 5
Bm
Tabbed by:ndermawan
Tuning: Standard
Lovely song by Lianne La Havas. So much groove and soul in this!
Intro uses either 2 guitars or some type of delay effect.
Not sure if mine is 100% correct, but sounds good enough to me.
The song is very bass-heavy, so don't be surprised if it doesnt sound 100% when played
with guitar only.
Chords listed above lyrics, for details on bass parts etc look at bottom of page
Please rate if it helped! Always open to corrections/suggestions.
===============================================================================
[Intro] use which ever picking variation sounds best to you
        - First option is high on fret board but keeps the same strings so you can slide up/down
