Jeff Buckley - Lover You Shouldve Come Over Chords & Tabs

               LOVER YOU SHOULD'VE COME OVER - Jeff Buckley
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Joe Hoblyn

Tuning: Standard

This song is in triple metre 6/8 time, so has a triplet feel. This is just 
what I heard from listening to the song, so I'm not certain all the chords
are completely perfect, but it plays fine along with the recording. I named a few 
of the chords wrong in the tab, for example 9th chords like D9 and Em9 are 
actually added 9th chords. 
 

The tab is written with just block chords, so listen to the song yourself
to get the rhythm of the chords and phrase them how you feel is right. Any  
chord mentioned should be tabbed out fully earlier in the song. 

Enjoy!
