"Because I Love You" - Masters Apprentices
Tabbed by Daniel Schaumann
 (Check out my web page at "www.geocities.com/d_schaumann/" for more
 tablature / chord charts transcribed by myself.)


Okay, it might be a bit old but it's still    /\  /\
a damn good song. I've even managed to make   / \ / \
the Masters Apprentices logo, if you're     /  \  \
wondering what the thing on the side is...   /  / \  \
But anyway, it's a damn good song to play   /  /  \  \
and it has a ripper of an intro, which is  /  /   \  \
the whole reason why I'm tabbing it out.  /  /_______\  \

It is actually played on a 12 string guitar, but I've designed this
transcription for a 6. It'll still sound good on a 12 string, but
there may need to be a few position changes because of the octave
higher strings.

For the main riff, I find it's best to use the pick between your thumb
& index finger for the A augmentedA string and use your middle & ring fingers to
pluck the two other strings. Alternatively, you don't have to use a
pick at all, but it does help with the strumming during the chorus.

h =3D Hammer on
p =3D Pull off
s/ =3D Slide up
s\ =3D Slide down
