Foolish Games tab by Jewel

From:         John Schneider

NOTE: this is, basically, a piano tune transcribed for acoustic guitar.

NOTE: a tab already available on the web, done by Wilson Miner

      the tab provided here differs in the following respects:

   1) the guitar is tuned up; (low E and A strings tuned up 1/2 step

   2) the variation on the 'C' chord during the intro is different;

   3) the chord progression during the chorus is different,

      and has been tabbed in full.

Tab: (note the guitar tuning... tune 5th and 6th strings up 1/2 step to

      Bb and F respectively.  This makes it considerably easier to play.)

It's a fun one once you have it - vary the picking during

 the verses and/or chorus to give more feel to things.
