HAVE YOU SEEN MY LOVE? - Barenaked Ladies
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Gary Cole
Email: garycole1 at hotmail dot com
Tuning: Standard
Notes: This is a great song that is really simple, but I couldn't find a tab for it
so I figured I'd write my first tab and contribute to everyone out there who may not have
time or the experiance necessary to figure something like this out themselves. Hope you
I know it helps me to have the chords that the picking is based on written somewhere
the song, and it'll help newer players get more accustomed to it, so I've done that as
you can't get the picking down struming sounds good as well.
I might have screwed up the tab in a few places, but after a while you'll get the really
picking pattern and won't even need the tab.
The verses are my interpertation of the song as to how it might sound if the guitar was
only instrument playing (And there was only one of them), so it's not the exact way the
is actually played. Sorry. :-(
Intro:
Have....my love? Have....my love .........little...Have you seen my........
