• Song:

    Only One

  • Artist:

    Tracy Chapman

THE ONLY ONE by Tracy Chapman
From the Album: "Telling Stories"
Tabbed by Izzylou

Note: This is possible the prettiest song on the album, with Emmylou
Harris singing harmony... Anyway, in the parenthese are the hammer-ons
and pull offs she does to reach the next chord. The letters are the string
name, and the numbers the frets.
Hope that makes any sense to anyone other than me... She finger-picks it,
I strum it. Either way works.  - Izzylou
