Hello there !
This is my first tab ever !
This song is Ben, sang by Michael Jackson .

I have transposed this song one note higher, so I can sing it myself !
I hope you like it.

Standard tuning.
The intro is ;

e|------3---------------3------------|
B|----3-------5-3-----3-------5-3----|
G|--4-----4-5-----5-4-----4-5-----5--|
D|-----------------------------------| x2
A|-----------------------------------|
E|--3---------------3----------------|


Then you'll play the following chords;

G                       D
Ben, the two of us need look no more,
     G                          D
    we both found what we were looking for.
     G                        B7                  F
    With a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone.
         E                  Am           D               G   C   G   C
    And you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me.
    G                          D
Ben, you're always running here and there,
      G                          D
     you feel you're not wanted anywhere.
     G                  B7                            F
    If you ever look behind, and don't like what you find,
              E                     Am           D              G C 

     there's something you should know, you've got a place to go.
   Am         D7    G           Am       D7     G
I used to say       I and me  Now it's us       Now it's we.
   Am         D7    G           Am       D7     G           C
I used to say       I and me  Now it's us       now it's we.
    

G                           D
Ben, most people would turn you away,
 G                    D
I don't listen to a word they say.
  G                      D                         F
They don't see you as I do, I wish they would try to,
    E                  Am             D                 G   C
I'm sure they'd think again, if they had a friend like Ben,
 G    C             G     C   
like Ben,          like Ben

----------------------------------

Myself, I like to end with the intro once again..
then end on a G.



Hope you like it!
Peace and Love.
