Okay, a lot of people make a lot of people cover I'll be by Edwin McCain and
seen anyone do it correctly, so I wanted to show

knows the B [B] intro
to the E
[E] And you can play that one like that or you can come down here and it's all the [B] same
[E]
But where everyone messes up is when he gets into the [B] verse the strands in your eyes

_ Okay, a lot of people _ _ make a lot of people cover I'll be by Edwin McCain and
_ So far I've not seen anyone do it correctly, so I wanted to show
_ There's the same everybody messes up in the same place, so I wanted to show exactly how it goes
_ _ _ _ Everyone knows the B [B] intro _ _ _ _
_ _ _ to the E _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ And you can play that one like that or you can come down here and _ _ _ _ _ _ it's all the [B] same _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ But where everyone messes up is when he gets into the [B] verse the strands in your eyes
_ _ Because I'm [N] wonderful stop me and steal my breath and right there at breath
_ _ Everybody plays these junk chords, but here and trust me.
I've played with everyone.
This is how it goes
[B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] Alright, so now I'm gonna slow it down and show you exactly what that chord is
_ Because it is difficult the first time
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ [B] If _ _ you'll do it this way I promise you much better results, it's exactly the way the recording is
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ What I'm playing [D#] here is [Gm] middle finger six string, sorry
_ _ I call it the first string.
It's the low E
_ _ [A#] _ _ _
It's on the sixth fret _ _ _ _ _
And then your [D#] index finger _ is _ _ [B] on the [E] third string on the fourth fret _ _ _
Your ring finger _ _ is on the fourth string the G _
_ _ _ Also on the sixth fret
_ _ _ [N] And your pinky is on the B the fifth string _ _
on the [F#] seventh fret _ _ _ _
And all you have to do from [G#m] there is walk it down an entire step which is two frets
_ _ [G#] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A#] _ _
_ _ [G#] and _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [G#] _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] That's the walk down.
So it goes like this _
[B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] See it for the walk down now
_ _ Another part that people mess up on is the [G#m] bridge _ _ _
_ Wait, and I've dropped out a burned up
[Em] _ Well what he does there [N] is
_ _ first finger _ _
_ first string fourth fret
_ _ middle finger _ _ _
_ third string fourth fret _
_ ring finger _ _
[G#m] fourth string _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] F sharp _ _
[E] to the E _ _ _ _ _
_ Back to that chord I just showed [B] you _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ and the A _ _ _
[A] _ _ back to the F sharp
[F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ The way to end it is
[A#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [G#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G#] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
