ME BY THE SEA (Edie Brickell)

[Capo 1.]
[The A* measures in the verses are actually A — Asus9 — A,
Alternating between 0 and 2 on the B string. Similarly, E* is
E — Esus4 — E, switching between 1 and 2 on the G string.]
[Hammer on from 0 to 2 on the A string in the E chords after
The line, «I can’t on my own.»]
[F#m7(4) is 244200. Use your thumb.]
