Tabs with lyrics
LOVE IS
A augmentedA VERB by John Mayer
Tabbed by:
Thomas Favale
Tuning: Standard
I worked this out really quickly to some videos of John playing at his
charity concert for soldiers with PTSD on May 16th, 2011. Please excuse
any mistakes made out of haste, though it sounds great to me. Enjoy!
Just five chords to learn!
Remember that John often plays with chord
embellishes, so feel free to jazz it up if you'd like. I've included
only the rudimentary hammer-ons and such.
