It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over - Lenny Kravitz (Mama Said)
============================================================
     Tabbed by Guitarnovice (guitarnovice@hotmail.com)


 Here's a pretty funky song for y'all!
    There was already a pretty good tab for this song in the
 archives, but I thought I'd complement that one with some
 things that were missing. I'm however not claiming this tab
 is 100% accurate either, but hey it's for free isn't it...

 The song is pretty basic. It uses the same chords for both
 verses and chorus. Try to find the correct rhythm/strumming
 pattern. The solo is sweet but really simple. I also
 included the sitar part arranged for guitar. It changes a
 bit in the end every time it's played, so feel free to
 improvise...

 Verse 1:
    Here we are still together
    We are one
    So much time wasted
    Playing games with love

 Chorus:
   So many tears I've cried
   So much pain inside
   But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
   So many years we've tried
   To keep our love alive
   But baby it ain't over 'til it's over

 Verse 2:
   How many times
   Did we give up
   But we always worked things out
   And all my doubts and fears
   Kept me wondering, yeah
   If I'd always, always be in love

 Chorus:
   So many tears I've cried
   So much pain inside
   But baby it ain't over 'til it's over
   So many years we've tried
   And kept our love alive
  'Cause baby it ain't over 'til it's over
