My Manic And I Chords & Tabs
This is the first song I've tabbed, it's such a good tune I had to give it a
go. Have mostly watched her play live and just listened to the song to
create this so I doubt it's perfect but I think most of it's correct. The
lyrics I've included are more like markers, they don't perfectly
coincide with the tab.
