"If You Could Only See" by TONIC
From the album LEMON PARADE (1996)
Words and Music ny Emerson Hart
Transcribed by Matt Wilson (jackel20@prodigy.net)

Me and a couple of friends use to play this song a little while back. 
I figured out all of the parts, and I'm pretty sure they are right. It's 
a fun song to play, and it's not that difficult.  If you have any comments
or corrections, you can e-mail me.

The beginning is with only an acoustic.  The stumming varies, so I'll just
show the chords.You'll have to listen to the song to get the excact rhythm.
