One Track Mind - Justin Taylor
h - hammer on
p - pull off
() - ghost note
/\ - slide up or down
x - mute and hit string
This is based on the youtube video from CandyRat so discrepancies with the studio
version may exist.
There are some places where I only put one instance of a chord for brevity's sake (i.e. bridge).
Listen to the song to get the rhythm/strumming/patterns down.
It's a fingerstyle song so using a pick will make it very difficult.
Watch the video to see how he does it or do what works for you!
I have included lyrics in some places to clear up confusion about where things are in
the song.
Please, if you have any questions or found something you disagree with, email me

Repeat the second part of that last section then a chorus.
End on the open D chord (very first one of the song).
It looks scary at first but it really fits together pretty nicely.
Good luck and God Bless!
