Guitar Tabs by: Shinedown
Tabs for song: Simple Man


Okay, this song is not too hard to learn, but it impresses the hell out
of non-guitarists. I tabbed it with the song (radio\album version),
so you should play along with it too. It's in standard tuning, except
the 1st(high e) and 2nd(b) string are tuned slightly sharp by about
1 or 2 semi-tones. I've included the basic strum pattern, but it varies
...so......be patient....but have fun!!

Don't worry too much about the strum pattern, just do what comes natural
and you should be OK. Only 1 acoustic guitar is being played; I think he's
using a pick and hyper-picking on the Bridge (it's how I play it). If you
can't hyper-pick or finger-pick, use a pick and don't play the high C note
on the 2nd(B) string on the Bridge(it's easier but doesn't sound exactly
the same). I didn't post the lyrics, but don't try the vocals in front of
people if you don't have a decent voice(I'm just trying to save you some
embarrassment).
