Hey there all you travis fans,i have been waiting fort someone to tab this
song ever since
i got the album, but it was taking ages so i decided to do it myself and here
it is. This
is one of the first songs i have typed up and is all my own work.It is
probably one of my
favourite songs on the album alongside sing and side.There isn't much to this
song,
except for the strumming in the intro and outro which can be a little tricky
if you are a
beginner.Just keep practising it and listening to the song to be able to play
the upstrokes
and downstrokes at the right time.To make it a little easier for you i have
included how you
should play the intro, with the correct strokes to make it sound wicked. The
key to playing
this song successfully is to strum the chords lightly to reproduce the mellow
and relaxed
ambiance of the song. If you have any corrections, improvements or any
suggestions please
send them to this address- Mogk57@aol.com. thanx and enjoy!!!!

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 TRAVIS 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.
