x1,000 Things (live acoustic version) Jason Mraz Tabbed by: Josh Larrimore ([email protected]) **Special thanks to Jon Blank for trying to tab this song first...I just "corrected" (I hope) his version. TUNING: Standard EADGBe (no capo) This is my very first tab attempt...I didn't think anyone else got it quite right, so this is what sounds right to me. I've been playing for about a year now, but I have a very good ear, and I hope this is right. Please let me know if anything sounds off...remember that this is off the live acoustic version.

VERSE 1 Cadd9 And I'm, I'm over-joyed G And I'm, I'm over-loved Cadd9 G And I'm feeling lucky, like a little boy Cadd9 Who's hiding under cover G And looking to discover Cadd9 G Every way to play the part inside this darkened cave A5 The meaning of life, well it starts at the nightlight Cadd9 D Close your eyes and I hope you see mine CHORUS G ooooo-loodle-loodle-loodle-lay D/B ooooo-loddle-loodle-loodle-lie G6 rrraa-ba-daddah-badah-rrra-ba-daddah Cadd9 D ba-da-ba-daddah-ba-badah-ba-badah-badah...
