Little Sister Tab by Jewel

Little Sister tab by Jewel (Ver. 2)

Guitar Tab 

So, the tuning for this one's a little odd - it's halfway between E A D G B e and Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb if that
makes sense. It's not EADGBe because it's a little flatter, but you can play with an EADGBe tuning - it just
won't sound exactly like the record.

Anyway, the first version of this seemed a little wrong to me, so here's how I play it.

Chords: E A D G B e
D/E     x x 2 0 3 2
D       x x 0 2 3 2
Cmaj7   x 3 2 0 0 0
G       3 2 0 0 3 3

Intro - repeats throughout:
