This tab is transcibed from the way he plays it in the tutorial on his website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8-5czYJvPM I’ve not included James Taylor’s trademark embellishments on the A chords but they are all based around A(X02220) Asus2(X02200) Asus4(X02230) A7(X0202) A7sus2(X0200)and A7sus4(X02030). To keep the tab easy to read, I’ve not added all the walk-up and -downs but here is the tab for the walk up in the second line of verse 3: G A Bm e|----------------------------|---------------0------------|-----| B|-0------2------3------0-----|-2------3-------------------|-----| G|-0------0------0------0-----|-2------2-------------------|-----| D|----------------------------|----------------------------|-----| A|--------0------2------------|-0------0-------------1-----|-2---| E|-3--------------------3-----|----------------------------|-----| Think I mighta heard the high—--way call---ing [Intro] D G G5/F# Em7 Gsus2/A [Chorus]
