E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||

Tabbed by: Henry Ngo    

Tuning: Half-step Down

It's a bit tricky to play and sing at the same time because of the timing, but 
it's a very catchy tune. 
Email me with any comments, questions, or corrections regarding the tab!
Have fun!

         My flower struck down with sickness, the young medicine man's got his face in a book

               good
                
                  E                           C#m               B
         In the morning I'm light, but in the evening I'm heavy now

                     E                    C#m           B
         Try as I might, I just can't keep it steady now

                B      C#m          
            oooooooo, oh my love

                   E                         Abm
         ooooh ooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhohohohohohoooooooooooooo
        

And you play E and Abm and 'ooo' for the rest of the song.
