                             Love On Top - Beyonce Knowles
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This arrangement is designed for one guitar - the bass line is worked into the 
bottom two strings, so if you're playing this with a group it'd probably make more 
sense to play simpler chords.

Chorus: Exactly the same as the intro, just hit the F7/G once on "Stop", and then 
move on to G# and G7 on beats 3 and 4, respectively.

Key-shifted choruses: this just moves up the fretboard one fret each time, but 
here's the extra ones here to make things easier. Also, on the fourth chord of 
each chorus, the top string is haaard to hit unless you have gigantic hands,
