I Found A Boy - Adele
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Cara aka Akumacy
Email: cara.heller@hotmail.com
Tuning: Standard
So, this is pretty easy to play. You can play it as chords, or pick it.
I just took the chords and turned them into picking.
I tried to add the chords where you're supposed to strum or pick them along with the
lyrics, since I sometimes have a hard time getting the tempo and rhythm right, if the
lyrics aren't there to help.
Fairly easy pattern. I am quite new to all of the tabbing (this is actually the first
one I did that I actually uploaded since I was never really satisfied with the previous
results :)).
I don't play guitar all too long either, so this might not be entirely right, but I
spent a LOT of time on this and did my very best!
Enjoy,
Cara
