REFUGE - John Legend
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Simoom
I've tabbed this song when listening to John's album "John Legend - Solo
Sessions Vol. 1 Live At The Knitting Factory". It's not in the same key as
the studio recordings on his album "John Legend".
It's quite simple - played on the piano. Since the keynote in the chords are
changed it's trickier to play on the guitar. If you want to play it anyway -
just forget about the changed keynote or try to use these chords: (I'm not
absolutely sure they're right though!)
