Marias Beautiful Mess

Maria's Beautiful Mess

I tabbed this song by watching Ellis live, so it may be different from the version
listening
to, since he plays it different in almost every recording. You really just have to play
with it for a while. It's a pretty easy song to play once you get the basic concept
The tuning is very easy to get to, so don't panic by how weird it looks. Have funn

tuning: C# G# C# F G# C#

Also... the T means tap your low strings with your thumb.
