Jamey Johnson - In Color

in color
jamey johnson

this is my very first tab . please let me know if there are any mistakes .

i Am sick and tired of people writing tabs that have the “f” chord in them
for this song . this tab is the closest to being correct on the
internet!! i even wrote up the intro . it’s not 100% correct but it’s
damn close for being transposed from multiple guitars .

capo 3
