FRANK D. FIXER - Jason Mraz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Andri
Email: globe194@hotmail.com
Tuning: E A D G B e
! Please Read The Instructions!
- Mraz uses the palm mute to play this song (if you don't know what that is,
check out this video)
http://www.youtube.com/watchfeature=player_detailpage&v=QJO5vYO4_8I#t=253s
-The G-string is very important in this song. Mraz always strings the root
note and then the open G-String. But he also touches the other open strings ! But
this is very difficult to show in a tab. I recommend you to listen carefully to
this Version of the Song to figure out his strumming:

Enjoy, and please rate if you like it :) ...or comment if you find a mistake.

I watched it all happen, in our backyard
