Song: Sexual Healing
Tabbed by: Brandon Geer

There are only two parts to this song (verse & chorous).
It is easy to learn and sounds good. This song is
not done on an album he only does it live.
Important: To get the effect of strumming that Ben
gets in his songs whenever there is a chord which,
needs to be strummed use your fingernails.
Ben also has it tuned down two steps but it doesn't
really matter. I recommend downloading the song to
get the rhythm.

The verse in the above is wrong although the alterations are minor.
The chord progression throughout the verse isn't
G / Am / Em / F

The correct chords are
G / Am / F / C
And they're played like this:

G Am F C

That's pretty much it, have fun
