----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 INTRO SLIDE: G|-----| D|-----| A|-12\-| E|-----|
