Perfect Love by Marc Cohn
Transcribed by Dave Hunter, dajh196@soton.ac.uk
A beautiful song, and not particularly tricky. I have only written out the main guitar part, I'll try and write out the rest another time, but you should be able to work most of it out yourself, it's based around the chords which makes it easier.
h = hammer on
p = pull off
X = slap
Capo 5th Fret
