Unfold by Jason Mraz

Tabs

Tabbed By:  Andy Smith

E-mail: [email protected]

 
This is my first time posting a tab.  Hopefully I do it right, but if I
didn't go
ahead and e-mail me and tell me what I did wrong or how I can improve.  I
appreciate constructive criticism. 

   This is one of my favorite Mraz songs.  Its off the Live at Java Joe's
album.

Its in standard tuning (EADGBE) and repeats almost the same chord
progression the

entire song.  Here goes nothing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Each section of music (eg. e|---x--|) is two bars long.

/=slide

 

The intro starts with a simple slide up then back down the Chord diagramD MajorD string.

Listen to the song for timing.
