Come See About Me

notes:

*** Sounds best if you play the Em chord as x7998x during most of the song, except 
during the Em/F#m/G part of chorus, where you can play it as 022000 ***

*** On the pre-chorus, the bass hits a quick A when switching back and forth between G 
and Bm. When playing this on guitar, you can: (1)just ignore this or (2) quickly 
release the finger from the A string and let it ring freely for a bit for the added effect ***

Now, to the song:
