Artist: Jason Mraz Song: I Won’t Give Up Tuning: Standard – Capo 2 (Best is drop D and use slightly different chords) Tabbed by: Donnie Niemi Email: dniemi3 at hotmail dot com Version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=739gZhhj_p4
I wrote this tab before the song came out publicly so the chords/lyrics might be slightly different than what is out now. For my ear the other chords/tabs listed do not sound right so I figured I'd share these incase others relate. Hopefully you like it. Comments can be sent to my email listed above.
