                             Song For A Friend - Jason Mraz
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuning: standard

Hi there. I present to you here the tab which is 110% sure right (you don't have
to believe my word, just believe your ears when you play this) for the verses part. 
I really didn't have much time in checking out the bridge
but i'm sure you'll find in the other tabs of this song.

                                                        ( play this last
                                                         section faster)

The * represents the fact that there is a slight pause there between sections. The
 rest of the notes are close together because they are in quick succession. Watch
 To make it easier for it to be played (as I have seen it from Mr. Mraz himself),
 the bottom e- and B-string have to be picked with your middle finger, and for the
 G-string use your index finger. This is because, as you can see in the tab, you
 often alternate between picking the B- and G-string. When you have to pick the
 e-string (like in the first section of the tab) just use your middle finger, then
 for the next string to be picked, the B-string, use the same finger, bringing it
 up from the e- to the B string. Then pick G and B normally with the middle and
 index finger.
 As for the small downward strumming motion, use the nails of your index and middle
 finger.
