Note: The INTRO on the previously submitted version of "What I Like About You"
was wrong. This is the correct way to play it. I play the rest of the song as
I've shown here. The song speeds up after you play the VERSE about 14x, and
also the strum pattern changes. It's probably not the way they play it on the
record, but it sounds good enough for now. When you play the (D) chord, keep
your index finger barred on those three strings on the second fret, your middle
on the third fret (D), and your third finger on the fourth fret (F#). That way,
you don't have to move your fingers at all when you play the (A) chord.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ROMANTICS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
