Song: If We Want To
Tabbed By : Nick Kauffman

Tuning: Standard
Hey guys. This should be pretty simple. I gave time cues for when it first appears
in the song. The
riffs are pretty recognizable so I'm sure you can piece together which ones you do when to make
the whole song. There are a few variations that Steve does throughout the song, but they are too
minor to mention and make this tab longer. This is my 3rd Big D tab, and I'm sure there will be
more in the future. Enjoy!
