If Only You Were Lonely

Replacements

Here's the intro, tabbed out for your pleasure: vocal------------------------------------------------>well i walked ---------0-0-0-0-0-0---2-3-3-2----3-3--0-0-3-3-----2-2-2---------3--| ---------1-1-1-1-1-1---3-3-3-3-3--0-0--1-1-0-0-----1-1-1---------0--| ---------0-0-0-0-0-0---2-2-2-2-2--0-0--0-0-0-0-----2-2-2---------0--| ---------2-2-0-0-2-2--0-----------0-0--2-2-0-0-----0-0-0---------0--| ---0--3--3(ring)------------------2-2--3-3-2-2-------------------2--| -3--------------------------------3-3------3-3-------------------3--| LEAD GUITAR --------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------------| ---------------------------------------------------3-2--0---0-------| -----------------------------------------------2-0--------2---0-----| --------------------------------------------------------------------| -----------------------------------------------------------------3--| My rhythm tabbing is that of a child.
