Guitar tabs with lyrics
Tuning: Standard
Difficulty: Advanced
capo 5
Full tutorial on playing it to the high guitar sound of Lindsey Buckingham.
The Key is in G, but tabbed relative to capo.
The most important aspect of playing this song well is being precise on the high (e) string,
this is really where the whole song gets its feel. Soft in the verses and a bang
in the chorus. Enjoy!

Chorus
-I like to change in between the big G+G and the G6G6 for the chorus for the best sound.
Every other time pull of the pinky on your normal G+G
-You don't need the slap in the second half,
just play G6G6 like the Big G, just depends on the time of the song.
-The first 2 D's are played hard and go with "Love You" "With You" etc quick chord change to B minorBm
