"Your Body is a Wonderland" (live version)
Song by: John Mayer
Standard tuning with capo on 1st fret
Tab is made WITHOUT regard to capo so a "1" on the A
string is really played open. Also, I finger-pick
the whole thing and the "xxx" means hitting the
strings with you hand not muffled. If you can play this,
I am assuming you know what a slide, hammer, palm mute,
bend and staccato (quick note) are and look like.
There are other tabs without a capo but I like mine.

SOLO...sort of. (rythem = one ee and a two ee and a etc...)
This is tricky because you have to quickly hit-mute-staccato.
Ive added the base line in parentheses for no particular reason.
