Precious Pain

Melissa Etheridge
Tab
★4.7(6)

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

* is the bass line

/ is bend up

\ is release bend

12-(14)-12 is pick d at the twelfth fret, bend up to e and rls bend to a

sl is slide

$- I think that the bridge goes UP from Dm->Em->Am, but Am at the 12th

fret sounds a bit weak, also the band/bass has come in a lot by this

point, so you could easily get away with a standard Am (at the nut).

Any improvements welcome.
