Artist: Copeland
Song: Coffee
tuning: Standard
When I first started playing guitar, this is one of the songs I looked at first and I
stuck to it pretty diligently. The way I play it, and the way its written below, isnt the
way Ive seen anyone else play it (on tabs or on YouTube ) but I think it sounds great. I
used the acoustic version, cause well, that recording is so much better.
I highly recommend getting a hold of it if you dont have it
Anywho

This is the standard pattern in the verses, (--There is plenty of time--) and also
during (--oh oh ohhh--)
A lot of people keep the top string on the third fret on the second chord, but think it
sounds more romantic when you put it on the second fret. Its a big difference. At least
to me.
Then the chorus:
---0-------x------0-------x------------x---|
---1-------1------1-------4------------4---|
---0-------2------2-------0------------5---|
---2-------3------2-------1----OR----5-----|
---3-------x------0-------3------------3---|
------------1-----x--------x------------x--|
(--If its not too late for Coffee--)
the last chord can be played either way, they sound great

------2------------0--------2--2--------------------------3--3---3---------3-----------3--|
--3--3---------2--2----------------------------------------------------------x------------|
(--Theres a love that transcends--)
then back to the main verse
Yeah, beautiful song.
Hope this helps.
