The original tab I found uploaded on a forum as PDF. The tab was originally transcribed by Greg Harper. I have only took the effort to copy it in a suitable format. For as far as I can tell the tab is 100% correct. Tuning is standard (EADG) The original file containing both tab and staff notation can be found at: http://basschat.co.uk/topic/123740-john-mayer-perfectly-lonely-bass-transcription/ Intro (0:00)
