Artist - Ryan Adams
Song - Karina
Album - 48 Hours
This is an Awesome song, ive been wanting to be able to play it ever since i first heard
a couple of years ago, i thought i could sit around and wait for someone to tab it,
out no one did and i got bored waiting.
This is what i came up with...
It's a pretty easy song to play too so have fun!
i think the timing is 6/4 could be wrong though...
Capo 3!! (key of C)
All notes relevant to capo!

Karina if I told you would I want it to

Karina if I left it were I wanted to

breaks the door with all this change rattle around

I beg to Jesus wont you let Karina free
Karina all this silence is so defeaning
and all the leaves have fallen from the trees

well im back here were your lover wants me to be
and Karina there a patience in all the things we say
it’s the harvering of all the things we do
yeah and every time I tell myself there is nothing there
may I always say your name and think of you
Cause if it were easy
you wouldn’t need me
if it would bring you any ease
I beg to Jesus wont you let Karina free x2

And Thats It
I know its probably quite a basic outline of the song but it should get you started with it.
Hope you like it, i may not have lined the chords and the words up exactly right but its
fixed if you listen to the song.
Play around with it too to add your own improvs and things... theres a lead parthe plays
he's going back into the verse - pretty much everytime...
you play a C chord then it goes like this
e--3-----------|
b--1-----------|
g--0--------2--|
D--2--------2--|
A--3---3-2--0--|
E--------------|
Let me know what you think of it anyway... leave a comment or rate it or whatever!
Laters!
