Subject: TAB: James "Laid"
(Let me throw in a quickie request for tab to 'five-o' and 'heavens' by james
and nirvana's 'lounge act' to anybody who might just know a place to start....)
Hiya. I've just heard a live nonplugged version of 'laid' (off the 'say
something' cd single) and here's my best guess....
Chord Formations: (Wow, only THREE chords!)
C [x 3 2 0 1 0] C/F [x 3 3 0 1 0]
G [3 2 0 0 3 3]
(Plugless version)
C C/F C G
