WHAT I AM - Edie Brickell & New Bohemians
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: E A D G
This song is played on a fretless five string. This was tabbed on a fretted four string, so it's just not
gonna sound the same, but it's pretty darn close. The timings aren't exact, but for reference - one dash, like
so: 2-2 denotes a sixteenth note. The rest is all kind of approximately relative.
Starts at about 0:11
