Half the Man
************
Tabbed By: Kevin Crimi

Howdy, Funksters! The chord pattern is pretty straight forward and repetitive so if you are one of the lucky guitar players who can sing good (I envy you) this is the perfect love song if you’re looking for one. Like always, I‘ve added the first verse and chorus lyrics to show the chord changes. For the interlude, I gave you the melody and the background chords. The second verse is the same as the first only with different chords and at the end, the progression changes and drags out while Jay ends the song so listen to the cd to pick up what’s going on. I hope I did it justice here but if you catch any mistakes, have any questions, or just want to talk about the band with me you can E-mail me at [email protected]. I’d love to hear anything you got to say.
