Guitar Tab

"If I Can't Change Your Mind," by Sugar.
>From their 1992 Rykodisc album Copper Blue.

Tabbed out by Keith E. Law (law2@husc.harvard.edu).

This is the single version. I have no clue if the album version is any
different.

There's another tab of this song out there somewhere, but it's very hard
to read so I decided to write it out in a more legible fashion.

NOTE: CAPO ON THIRD FRET!!!!!!!

All chord names herein designate position; e.g., D = XX0232, which, with a
capo on the third fret, is actually an F.
 T = play with thumb
 / = slide up
 \ = slide down
 ^ = bend 	^q = quarter tone	^h = half tone		^F = full tone
	if letter is above the fret #, note is bent THEN picked
 h = hammer
 p = pull-off
 g = grace note - written above note to be 'graced'
 ~ = vibrato

This is the main riff:

--2---0-2---3---2-0--|--2---0-2---0-0-0-0--|
--3---3-3---3---3-3--|--3---3-3---3-2-0-2--|
