Song: Forgiven
Artist: Ben Harper
Album: Burn to Shine
Tabbed by: Alan, bosstoner737@hotmail.com

I love this song. I think the real way to play it is to fingerpick it,
but what i do is just strum the notes and mute everystring that is not
being played. It sounds good either way.

Reapeat all the above.

This is the solo break. Im not going to tab out the lead guitar, cause
i dont have the time to do it note for note. just play some crazy wha
solo in an E minor penatonic. This however is the rythm guitar during
the solo. Play it 4 times With Dist.

After the solo play another verse and keep doing the chorus until the
song ends.
