I've taken Sam's interpretation and made some minor changes
that made it easier for me to learn to sing and play Little Sister.
I've added measures to the tab and broken the lyrics into measures.
Everything else is the same.  Oh, yeah... I changed 2p0 to 3p2 in
the D chords...play it like you like!  Thank you Sam!

Continue picking throughout rest of tune.  Jewel doesn't keep her
lyrics lined up nicely with the measures (bless her soul!) so
some of the breaks below might not be quite perfect.  Have fun!
