Ok the version of this on the album is tuned down a whole step, 
but if you can't be bothered it still sounds heaps good with 
standard tuning. Actually the Hollywood Bowl concert he just 
plays it with normal tuning, and it sounds great. The chords 
used in this song are basic but the hard part is the pattern 
he uses which is kinda complicated, but if you follow the 
instructions you should be sweet. Enjoy!


p = pull off
h = hammer on

Ben Harper - Waiting On An Angel


I have seen this song many times and it is always done wrong.  I 
saw Ben play it in concert and this is the format he used.  The 
chorus is a little iffy so if you have any corrections feel free to
email me.  Have fun.
