Song For A Friend - Jason Mraz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: standard
Hi there. I present to you here the tab which is 110% sure right (you don't have
to believe my word, just believe your ears when you play this) for the verses part.
I really didn't have much time in checking out the bridge
but i'm sure you'll find in the other tabs of this song.
Chords:

( play this last
section faster)
The * represents the fact that there is a slight pause there between sections. The
rest of the notes are close together because they are in quick succession. Watch
To make it easier for it to be played (as I have seen it from Mr. Mraz himself),
the bottom e- and B-string have to be picked with your middle finger, and for the
G-string use your index finger. This is because, as you can see in the tab, you
often alternate between picking the B- and G-string. When you have to pick the
e-string (like in the first section of the tab) just use your middle finger, then
for the next string to be picked, the B-string, use the same finger, bringing it
up from the e- to the B string. Then pick G and B normally with the middle and
index finger.
As for the small downward strumming motion, use the nails of your index and middle
finger.
