x----------------------------------------------------------------------- Song: You’ll Always Be My Best Friend Artist: Relient K Album: The Bird and the Bee Sides ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Jordan Lambert Email: [email protected] Notes: Good song, though short, it’s fun to do. I arranged it for one acoustic, so if have a bass player, neglect all “passing tones.” THIS CAN BE PLAYED IN THE Eb STANDARD you want to do this, just Capo 3rd instead of 2nd. Oh, and please don’t mind my chord I’m lazy. They’ll be notated as if no capo is present. Tuning: Standard w/ CAPO 2nd Intro: Listen for rhythm. It’s like a country two-step feel, so hit the bass notes on own, then stress the higher strings on the strumming. This is especially important on the tones, like the E/F# and the A2/B.

Have fun, God bless. | x Mute note =======================================================================
