If I Were a Boy – Beyonce
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by: BC Jean/Toby Gad
From: "I Am... Sasha Fierce" (2008)
Tabbed by: maguri
One semi-tone up compared to Beyonce’s recording. In order to
match with the original:
- either transpose this tab down one semi-tone
- or transpose it down two steps and then use one of those cute ukulele
capos on the 1st fret to bring it back to the key of the original recording.
