Use Somebody - Tyrone Wells
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: yes, this song was originally done by the Kings of Leon. But Tyrone did his
own version of this, and it’s currently one of my favorites.
It’s possible to play this without a capo of course, but 1. it’s how he does it
live and 2. it’s easier this way. Note: start with your middle and ring fingers on
the third frets for the first chord.
