This song comes from both recordings (live and solo) of Troubadour from the DVD "Justin Live in San Juan Capistrano". In order to play this song correctly, the tabs must be exactly as diagrammed at the bottom of this page. If not, you'll have a very hard time transitioning. Overall, this song is easy; you'll just need to focus on the timing. I'm sure this is 100% correct, but if you have any questions, revisions, or comments, feel free to e-mail me at Jkmuff@aol.com. Enjoy! Also, this tab is NotePad friendly.
