Notes:
-Just as with any new Jewel song,
her lyrics and chords may tend to vary.
This tab is from the above performance.
-You can find alternate lyrics at
www.jewelwiki.com
-I'm pretty sure that she uses a pick
on this whole song, but the intro is
tabbed because well, that's how she
emphasizes notes in the intro.
-When picking, she tends to also palm-
mute while upwards strumming on the
pre-chorus
-I had to give some chords alternate
names to eliminate confusion...she
uses several F chords as well as C
chords in this song
