"I got a woman"
Performed by : Mr. John Mayer
Written by : Mr. Ray Charles
From the album : "John Mayer Trio - Try!"
Tabbed by : Glassheadkid

This isn't the full tab version. It's really hard to depict exactly what Mayer does live 
It's my first tab and this is basically the rhythm guitar section. You'll have to 
out the strumming patterns yourself. (And im fully aware there isn't a rhythm guitar, thus being a "trio").

Key:

h -Hammer On
p -Pull Off
/ -Slide Up
 -Slide Down
b -Bend
x -Muted String
t -Thumb (played on top string)
