----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | This is the first song that I've ever tabbed out. Its pretty close to the original | | and the picking pattern and timing are not that hard to figure out. It's a great | | song and I couldn't find a decent version of it tabbed so I decided to do it myself. | | If you see anythijng that needs to be corrected please feel free to do so. Have fun! | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN - as performed by Little Texas -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Transcribed by: Patrick Clark Email: wpclark@charter.net Standard tuning: E, A, D, G, B, E (Everything is fingerpicked until the bridge) Intro: E-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| B-|--3--------3---3--------3-----------3---1-----------3---1---0---------3---------------3r0-----1-----|| G-|-------0------------0-----------0-----------0---0-----------------0-------0-----0-----0-------0-----|| D-|---------0------------0-------2---2---2---2---1---1---1---1------------------0h2--------------2-----|| A-|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| E-|--3--3-------3-3--3-------3-------------------------------------3---3---3---------3-----------------| Verse 1: Sure I Think about you now and then E-|---------------------------------------------------------------|| B-|--3--------3---3--------3-----------3-------------3------------|| G-|-------0------------0-------------------2-------------2---4----|| D-|---------0------------0--------4------------4---4-------4------|| A-|---------------------------------------------------------------|| E-|--3--3-------3-3--3-------3----3--3---3---3---3-----3----------| But it's been a long, long time E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| B-|-------3----------------3---1---0---------3---------------3r0-----1-----|| G-|--0---------0---0---0-----------------0-------0-----0-----0-------0-----|| D-|------------------1---1---1---1------------------0h2--------------2-----|| A-|--3--3---3----3---------------------------------------------------------|| E-|------------------------------------3---3---3---------3-----------------| I have a good life now.
