------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Rob Froud E-mail: [email protected] Stevie plays this differently to Sheryl Crow, who wrote the song for Stevie before recording it herself, in 2002. Stevie's version is from the album 'Trouble in Shangri-la' (2001). There are a couple of fills missing if anyone can add - I have approximated and will amend if I can refine. Note there are two guitars being picked on the album track; so some fills may be difficult without a couple more hands. This is mainly the first guitar (left channel on album) including a couple of fills from the second. This is my first tab and I'm returning to the guitar after years of not playing - so apologies if anything is wrong or poorly noted (please let me know). Timings omitted. Capo on 2. Chords named relative to capo (e.g. G is in reality A). Intro. and verse (finger pick, with pinching & thumb rolls):
