Why Bother by Allison Weiss Capo 3rd Fret (she plays it on 2nd fret sometimes too but the EP version is 3rd) ***RELATIVE TO CAPO*** E (022100@1) Ab (xx1114@1) A (x02220@1) B (x2444x@1) Db (x43121@1) --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --0-- --9-- --5-- --6-- --8-- --6-- --9-- --6-- --7-- --9-- --6-- --7-- --6-- --7-- --9-- --4-- --0-- --4-- --5-- --7-- --0-- The picking is fairly random and you can pick up the general idea just by listening to the song.
