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 cool.... so i just want it to be on UG

Painter

performed by Norah Jones on "Come Away With Me"

composed by Lee Alexander/J.C. Hopkins

transcribed by Michael Blake (All his own work.)

The song is in the form AABA AABA with a piano solo

on the third and fourth A sections. The finger picking

is improvised. I tabbed it out from the first verse

as an example, but it's played slightly different each

verse.
