Things That Matter Chords & Tabs
RASCAL FLATTS
THINGS THAT MATTER
tuning: half a step up (f C G# D# A# f)
email wasssup@hotmail.co.uk for corrections etc.
just tabbed the phrasing, if you want a referance, listen to the song, etc.
a little note: all the slide stuff is actually done on a hawian guitar, so you wont get
exact sound with a normal one
INTRO
the chords may not be exact, but they're close
