Corrections and Comments to darc_blade@hotmail.com
New single by Michelle Branch, surprised me. She uses Drop D.
Or maybe not, it's just alot easier to play with Drop D.
Surprisingly, this is the most challenging song by Michelle that
I've had to figure out how to tab. Figure out strum patterns yourself,
it's a pain in the ass just tabbing.
Remember like all Michelle Branch songs:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---CAPO ON FIRST FRET---!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(It's bloody accurate with capo, so no damn slander against this tab
And please remember the tab is relative to the capo, meaning everything is moved
down a fret from the normal when you play this)

Bridge - It's either Michelle's Part or the second guitar, video
