Just What I Needed

{t:Just What I Needed}
 {st:The Cars}
 
 A classic by The Cars (also sung by bass player Benjamin Orr)
 
 Tabbed by: BASSteve
 
 Tuning: EADG
 
 Time signature: 4/4 (except where noted)
 
 r = rest (listen for duration)
 / = slide (low to high)
 \ = slide (high to low)
 ()= note inside parenthesis not plucked or hammered on
 {}= note inside pointed parenthesis still ringing from previous measure
 ||= measure gets repeated (see number of times above measure, e.g. 4x)
 
 *My tabs are meant to be read in conjunction with listening to the song.
 In other words, there are no specific notations to account for note/rest duration.
 However, you will find that I've made an attempt to strategically space the notes
 and rests within their respective measures in order to represent the appropriate
 durations.
