John Legend ~ "Ordinary People"
Tabbed by: Law&GuitarGuy
This is my first tab, but I'm pretty confident in it. A lot of these chords are very
(e.g., Bbmaj7 and Bbmaj9), you'll probably notice a distinctly more exact sound when you
them where I've indicated.
Feel free to send me any questions or comments. Thanks.
