Tuning: Standard, Capo 3


This is a far more involved version than any other tab out there at the moment.
For the verses and chorus's that are finger plucked,
there are about 3 different licks or variations that John plays.
Try to alternate or cycle between all 3, depending what fits where
with the lyrics. play around with it and have fun. Any comments,
good or bad, please email me. This is my first tab so
sorry if its not the best layout. If anyone is have trouble

Free Fallin'

John Mayer's cover of the Tom Petty classic, from his live album 'Where the Light
Is: Mayer Live in Los Angeles'.

None of the other versions were how John (or Robbie McIntosh) play it.  They
aren't wrong, but are Tom Petty's way of playing, not John's.

Although most of the song is fingerpicked, its fingerpicked through the 3 chords: D/F#, G and A.

I think it sound best to have the A string and the high E muted.

The A can be varied with an Asus4.  It doesn't matter that much, so its up to you
what sound you like best.

Also, the first G of each line could be played as a Dsus4/G (3x0233), and in fact

This is a tab if you want to do some in between licks. I'm not gonna include them,
but using the C F G chords instead of E A B makes it a little easier
to add in 'personality notes.' I have it Capo 5 but if you dont want to play
with the track because it is too high to sing, just mover down.
