You've Got A Friend tab by James Taylor
Guitar Tab
A big sorry to all those people who have been waiting for this since I promised it ages ago. It was about an hour *before* I realised that there were definitely 2 guitars. This transcription is the main guitar part, RH channel on the version I've got (compilation thing). I'm afraid anyone wanting the fancy overdubs will have to work them out for themselves, just unplug the right speaker to avoid distractions. You've got a friend =================== Artist: James Taylor Songwriter: Carole King Transcribed by: Rich Tebb

time.
