The only problem I had was notating hammer ons because a 1 to 3 hammer on looked like a fretted note at 13!! oh well... hope someone out there gets some use out of this... ------------------0-0-0-------------------------------0-0------------| ------------------0-3-3---------------------0-2^-2-^--3-3------------| -------2-4----------4-4-----------2-4-------0-2^-2-^--4-4--------2-4-| -0-2-5-----5^-2-------------0-2-5-----5^-2-----------------0-2-5-----| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| [all ^ are 1/4 step bends] ------0--0-0--------------------------3^3^-0-3^3^--------------------| ------0--3-3------------------0-2^-2^-2^2^-0-2^2^--------------------| ---------4-4--------2-4-------0-2^-2^-------------------2-4----------| 5^-2----------0-2-5-----5^-2----------------------0-2-5-----5^-2-----| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| Come on baby Ow 0-0-------0-0------------------------0-0-0---0-----------------0-0-0-| 0-0--3-3^-0-0-----------------0-2-2^-3-3-3---3-----------------0-3-3-| -----4-4^------------2-4------0-2-2^-4-4-4---4-------2-4---------4-4-| ---------------0-2-5-----5^-2------------------0-2-5-----5^-2--------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------------------------| Woah, Woah 0-0---0-0-------------------0---0--0-0----0--0--0---------------------| 3-3---3-3---------0-2---2---3---3--3-3^---0--3--3---------------0-2-2-| 4-4---4-4--2-4-0--0-2---2---4---4--4-4^------4--4-------2-4-----0-2-2-| --------------------------------------------------0-2-5-----5^2-------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------| 0--0---------0--0--0-0-0-------------------------0--3^-3^0-3^3^0-3----|3^ 3--3---------3--0--3-3-3----------------0-2---2--3--2^-2^0-2^2^0-2----|2^ 4--4-------2-4-----4-4-4-------2-4------0-2---2--4--------------------| -----0-2-5---------------0-2-5-----5^2--------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------| Well if you wanna baby I could You wanna lover See other guys let it slide You want a friend 0--0---0-----------------------0-----------------0--0--0--------------| 0--3---3---------------0-2--2^-3-----------------0--3--0--------------| ---4---4-------2-4---0-0-2--2^-4--------2-4---------4----------2-4--0-| ---------0-2-5-----5^0----------------------5^0----------0-2-5----5^0-| ----------------------------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------------------------| mama I can be I got both of them the tools to satisfy.
