Rocky Votolato - She Was Only In It For The Rain

rant : i have been playing for a long time , but this is my first time submitting A
tab . i just couldn’t let a song this good be so very very poorly interpreted ( as
with the other versions of the tabs for this song . . . i mean do you know how much
work it is to tune you whole guitar down a half step? there is a reason they
invented the capo!

note : this song has a really fun moving bass line which i write out using the
actual chord notation ( E : E/Am ) . when you see this type of notation you insert
the note on the left of the slash ( in this case ’e’ ) into the lowest position of
the chord indicated to the right of the slash ( in this case Am ) .

standard tuning – – – capo 2

intro : Am l E/Am l C/Am G/Am l : ( 2x )
