	     I'm Alive - Kenny Chesney and Dave Matthews
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: 	Jason Wilkerson
Email:

Tuning:		Down a half step, capo 2nd fret on strings 1-5, leaving 6 open to E-flat

This may not be exact, but it sounds pretty close.  
** Note: on the 6th string, the fret specified is from the base of the neck.  
	 All other fret specifications are in relation to the capo.  Hope
         that makes sense.

Enjoy!
