Sara Bareilles - Single Ladies Cover

so , sara bareilles did a cover for beyonce’s “single ladies” for billboard’s mashup
mondays youtube channel and i thought i’d share it! : )

* * note * * all chords in tab call for the notes to be played individually ( unless noted otherwise ) :
C = [ C – D# – E – G ]
F = [ F – A – C ]
Am = [ A – C – E ]
D = [ D – F – A ]
G = [ G – B – D ]
