How Do I Live Chords & Tabs
Wow, this is my first tab in, like, forever.
How Do I Live Without You
As performed on the "Con Air" soundtrack
Written by Diane Warren(?)
Performed by Leann Rimes
Standard tuning
Note: It's preferable to have an acoustic guitar for the song. But if you only play
just keep it in a clean tone for the whole song (except the little guitar solo thing later
the song)
h hammer on
p pull off
