Tracy Chapman - Change
Tabbed by Werner Allers
Tuning: standard
Key: F
Notes:
The Dm* indicates to play a Dm while doing a quick hammer-on/pull-off
of the 1st string, 3rd fret with pinky (listen to the recording).
Also, their little riff (for a second guitar) during the chorus
and end of the song is as follows:

[Chorus]
[Gm]How bad, how good, does it need to [F]get? [C] [Riff]
[Gm]How many losses, how much re[F]-gret? [C] [Riff]
[Gm]What chain reaction would cause an [F]effect? [C] [Riff]

[Dm*] [Bb] Makes you [F]change. [C]
