"Mary Jane"
***************************************
So I searched and searched and could not find this tab anywhere online.
Don't you hate when that happens? This is totally a work in progress...
I found a really simple way to play it to the satisfaction of my girlfriend
It fits the melody but it is really over-simplified.
If anybody can give me some help on variations it would be nice.
I actually didn't even listen to the song to get the actual key.
I just sang it in my natural way. I mean who doesn't know this song by heart
I welcome criticism and challenge someone else to do better seriously...
