Love Soon (Inside Wants Out)
By John Mayer
Re-tabbed by Dave Meslin (with help from Mark Schmitz' original tab
work--thanks)

I'm not promising this is any more accurate than the other
version--it's just an alternate.
Comments, improvements, and alterations are welcome.

Main hook & choruses
The rhythm is NOT implied by the structure of this tab in any way.
Listen to the music for that.

e-----------------3-\-----1--/-----8----8--------------|
B-----------------3-\-----1--/-----8----8--------------|
G------^----------4-\-----2--/-----9----11-------------|
D------^----------5-\-----3--/-----10---10-------------|
A-muted rake------5-\-----3--/-----10---10-------------|
E--(15\3)---------3-\-----1--/-----8----8--------------|

Bass E is all thumbs. That last 8.10.10.11.8.8 sounds really weird out
of context, but give a good listen to the IWO version
of Love Soon. I think it's right; that dissonance is pretty distinct.
Someone help me if I'm wrong. As far as fingering
for that chord, I use a thumb on the bass E, and then, working
downword, middle, ring, pinky, index, index. I have small
hands, so it hurts, but I'd imagine it's feasible for most.

"Did you expect to kiss me one time..."

B---8---10--------------8---10--|
G---8---10--------------8---10--|
D---8---10--------------8---10--|
A---6---8---------------6---8---|
E-------------------------------|

and everything else is just variations on the hook from here on out.
