Bright Eyes

Jason Mraz
Tab
★4.5(6)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Song

This song is actually really simple and i've not found one accurate tab so I've

decided to tab it myself since its a great song easy to play and sing.
