One Man's Problem (The Jayhawks)
NOTE: For this chart, I use the tab notation "/" to mean "slide up to..."
So for this chart "B/C" means "B-chord slide up to C-chord," NOT "B-chord
with a C-note bass."
Also, In my charts use the "|" symbol to indicate measure breaks, the "."
to indicate beats. That usually drives somebody nuts.
Standard tuning, Capo: 2
