I?LL BE (Acoustic Version) Edwin McCain Album: Messenger Transcribed by: Louie A. Ebojo Email: ebbskyz@yahoo.com This song is a cool one, this is my favorite from the album. His guitar playing is cool too, so I choose this one to tab since I can?t find a good transcription of this song in the net. It took me a while to post this song ?coz I just learned how to read the tablature (thanks to my friend Tristan for teaching me). The finger picking is not 100% accurate ?coz this it?s just from memory, although the chords are pretty much accurate. I tabbed this with no guitar on hand, so, please bear with me. For comments, suggestions, revision, correction and insults pls. email me at ebbskyz@yahoo.com.
