Artist: Babyface
Song: When Can I See You
Album: For the Cool in You (1993)
Transcribed by Granger Godbold

This is a correction to the previous 2 versions; they were a BIG help,
but neither sounded right. What you see below isn't perfect either: There
are a bunch of small variations mixed throughout the song.
I left one in as an example (riff 5a); all of them are pretty much
like that (just a small change). I figured leaving them out would make it
easier for people to pick up the song.
