------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTHIN BETTER TO DO – Leann Rimes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Kengus Standard tuning Capo on first fret! This song was on the request list, but spelled Nothing..., and I'm pretty sure it's Nothin'... Anyhoo, the really nice picking thingy forms the basis of the song - once you get that, it's pretty much easy sailing from there. Enjoy.
