Maroon 5 - Better That We Break
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Created: June 22nd, 2007
Standard Tuning
Capo can be used to adjust key for singing.
When I play, I like to transition from D to Dsus4 with a hammer on the high E
string. It's not necessary, but it sounds better I think.
