-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: P. Scafidi

Tuning: Standard
Written by Herbie Hancock and John Mayer.
From the CD "Possibilities" 2005
There’s two ways that I play the intro to this song. I tend to play the first example
since the voicing has a bit more of a beefy tone, but either one works great.
This is played for the intro and all verses:
Example ONE: Example TWO:
e|----------------------| e|----------------------|
B|----------------------| B|---2----0----1--------|
G|---6----4----5----6---| G|------------------2---|
D|------------------7---| D|---2----1----0----2---|
A|---7----6----5----0---| A|------------------0---|
E|----------------------| E|----------------------|
For the Chorus and ending:
A7 G D9 G
e|---5---------3----------------------5-----------3---------|
B|---5---------3----------------------5-----------3---------|
G|---6---------4----------------------5-----------4---------|
D|---5---------5----------------------4-----------5---------|
A|---7---------5----------------------5-----------5---------|
E|---5---------3----------------------------------3---------|
“ stitched up, out of my mind, feeling strung out lagging…”
There’s a little lick at the end of the chorus before each verse:
e|--0---------------------------------|
B|------3---1-------------------------|
G|--------------2---0-----------------|
D|----------------------3---2---------|
A|------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------|
There’s a cool instrumental bridge with some “Ooohs and Ahhhs” after the second chorus:
Dm7 G Cadd9 Fmaj7 Dm7 G
e|---5--------3--------0--------0--------5--------3-------|
B|---6--------3--------3--------1--------6--------3-------|
G|---5--------0--------0--------2--------5--------0-------|
D|---7--------0--------2--------3--------7--------0-------|
A|---5--------2--------3-----------------5--------2-------|
E|------------3-----------------------------------3-------|
