TOKYO - Lianne La Havas
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:ndermawan
Tuning: Standard
Lovely song by Lianne La Havas. So much groove and soul in this!
Disclaimer:
-----------
Intro uses either 2 guitars or some type of delay effect.
Not sure if mine is 100% correct, but sounds good enough to me.
The song is very bass-heavy, so don't be surprised if it doesnt sound 100% when played
with guitar only.
Chords listed above lyrics, for details on bass parts etc look at bottom of page
Please rate if it helped! Always open to corrections/suggestions.
===============================================================================
[Intro] use which ever picking variation sounds best to you
- First option is high on fret board but keeps the same strings so you can slide up/down

Hope it was clear enough! :)
*Not tabbed the solo yet since I haven't gotten around to replacing strings on the electric,
seems pretty simple to figure out by yourself, but will add it on if people comment for it.
Please comment before rating if there are any mistakes, cheers!
