Song: The closest thing to crazy Artist: Katie Melua Composer: Mike Batt Album: Call off the search Tabbed by: DJ 23rd Feb 2014 NOTE: Katie Melua plays it in E without a capo, but this is another option. (Will then sound in the recorded key of E) I would recommend using the voicings in the text column numbers below.
