THE WAY I AM (Acoustic) - Ingrid Michaelson
http://youtu.be/oiV6X1nsZVo
---------
This song is not for the faint-hearted. There are several barre chords and funky 7th chords
that are super fun to play! That said, I will transcribe a simple version of this song for
you guys first. You can simplify even more by playing standard chords instead of 7th chords.
----------
Simplified Version:
----------
~~CAPO ON 3RD FRET~~
==VERSE & CHORUS==
