Ben Harper - Less guitar tab
LESS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
transcription by Partoche(partoche@caramail.com)
Some people advice to tune the guitar that way: EBEG#BE ,so that the
chords are easier to play.
for example the F becomes F:111111 ,G:333333,and so on.
Still you are not forced ti di that,and i give the real name of the
chords (ie when the guitar is tuned EADGBE)
Intro and verses:

Couplet:
---------
I could give you more, but you still wouldn't be happy
I could give all you need, but you still wouldn' t be satisfied
I could give to our poor
Now what good would that be?
You'd shake hands with Jesus
And you still would not believe

I could change your mind, but what would you really be thinking
I'll show you a sign, but you just pass it on by
I could hold your hand but then we'll both be sinking
The problem with the world is everone's not just like you

If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me
If you're happy with nothing you'll be so very happy with me...
So happy with nothing, so happy with me
