Matt Nathanson - Laid Ok, I’ve tabbed this song out in two ways. The first is the way Matt Nathanson plays it on the studio version, and the second way is how I play it for I don’t have a string quartet at my disposal. My way just simply adds some of the sounds that would come from a bassist and a string quartet playing with me. There are only two parts to this song, so it’s really simple. I’ve tabbed the strums as accurately as I could, but listen to the song to get it 100% to your satisfaction. Enjoy!
