Tabbed by: Rob Froud

Tuning: STANDARD (with capo on 2nd)

Stevie plays this differently to Sheryl Crow, who wrote the song for Stevie before recording it
herself, in 2002. Stevie's version is from the album 'Trouble in Shangri-la' (2001).

There are a couple of fills missing if anyone can add  - I have approximated and will
amend if I can refine. Note there are two guitars being picked on the album track; so some fills
may be difficult without a couple more hands. This is mainly the first guitar (left channel on
album) including a couple of fills from the second. This is my first tab and I'm returning to
the guitar after years of not playing - so apologies if anything is wrong or poorly noted (please
let me know). Timings omitted.

G         G    D  A7sus4      A7sus4 A7
I think I met my match again

Em       Em6       Em7   C
Passing 'round the candlelight

G      G  D  A7sus4            A7sus4 A7
In the centre of this blizzard

Em            Em6    Em7     C
You stood and melted all the ice

Ah, it's only love

Ah, if only love comes around again

G   D        A7sus4
It will have been

Worth the ride ...

And if you see me, could you free me

With a smile, so I can let go ...
