You came along and you cut me loose Eadd9 Gmaj7 D A ... ... You came along and you cut me loose =============================================================================== Tips: 1. Bracketed notes are optional. Omit them to bring out the melody. 2. Play the lower strings (especially E and A) lightly or omit them altogether. 3. Listen for the accents in the intro (generally every second beat). 4. Pay close attention to the rhythm, especially the syncopation in bridge 3. Rhythm legend: H = Half note (minim) Q = Quarter note (crotchet) E = Eighth note (quaver) S = Sixteenth note (semiquaver) . = Dotted note (one and a half) Please rate and comment on this tab! ===============================================================================
