Third Eye Blind – I Want You (Guitar Tab)

This is an old tab I ripped off of the third eye blind archive. I love this song, and this album, and figure it's better suited up here where more people can see it. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Author/Artist: Third Eye Blind Title: I Want You Album: Third Eye Blind Transcribed by: Thomas Dillard Email: [email protected] Here is my version of "I Want You". The rhythm is complex, so I think the best way to play it is to listen to the song and find a rhythm that you like. It is a simple song, and despite popular belief, it is in Standard Tuning. One guitar is tuned to open G, but it is a lead guitar. Tuning: Standard EADGBe

Chords:
  G6    G6   Asus2   Am    Em  Cmaj7   C
