------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MERCY RUB - The Mayfield Four ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: AlterEdge Email: ibanez.iceman@hotmail.com This is my first tab but I'm fairly sure that this is correct.

Please rate, thanks! There are only 4 chords used in this song and they are: A5, C, F, G. Tuning: E Standard.
