Nathaniel Rateliff - I Am

Tabbed by: Marcus Marchal (Warflojd)

Tuning: Standard
Capo: 5
The first and the second verse are very similar but the notes changes from here to there
but it's fun to play around with the picking pattern. The places where I have just put
the chords is where he kind of strums the chords instead of using the picking pattern.
Great song nonetheless, hope you enjoy it!
