Katy Perry - Thinking of You - Live version
by Telanis
After spending an hour or so watching different recordings of Katy
Perry play this song, this is what I've come up with. I'm pretty
sure it's correct, but even if it's not perfect it's still a lot
better than any other tab I've seen for this song. You can refer
to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FltEU-VKRC8
First let's define some chords. For most chords, you should hit
the bass note alone, and then strum the full chord. You can figure
out the strumming pattern yourself, it's not too hard. Note that
each X* is essentially an open-E chord with X as the bass note.

Apple hanging from a tree, I picked the

Ripest one, I still got the seed
[Chorus Lead-in]

E A2/F#
Cos when I'm with him I am thinking of you
A2 Bsus4/E

You were the one who was spending the night

A2 A2+6 A2 A2+6
Let myself, let you go, and
C#m/E F#sus4+7
Now, now the lesson's learned - I touched and I was
A2 A2+6 A2 A2+6

Oh I wish that I was looking into your,
E A2/F#
Your eyes, looking into your eyes, looking into
A2 Bsus4/E
Your eyes Won't you walk through and
