Something To Believe In
Tabbed by me, that guy you don't care about


I saw that nobody had tabbed this very underrated Steve Miller song; very simple. Place
you capo on the first fret. Timing is pretty easy to figure out. The riff during the
verse is played while sustaining the F major chord. Just play the notes (f-e-d-c-d-c) on 
your high e and b string like so...

***
e-1-0-1-1-1-1  or e 1-0--------|
b-1-1-3-1-3-1     b ---3-1-3-1-|
g-2-2-2-2-2-2     g -----------|
d-3-3-3-3-3-3     d -----------|
  (F)

Listen and you'll know what I'm talking about... I've indicated where it is below
