Artist: Nine Days
Song: If I Am
Album: The Madding Crowd
Tabbed by: Ryan Sanders (ryes31@aol.com)
Date: January 25, 2001

I've only seen one other tab for this which really wasn't correct in any way, so 
I was determined to do this.. here it is!  There are a few more little fancy things
John throws in, but I didn't worry about those.. let me know if there's any
mistakes.  
I transcribed this mostly from the acoustic version, because the album version was
getting too hard to hear what was going on with the background guitar.  So there may
be a few differences, but probably not.  Enjoy.. NINE DAYS RULES!!
