Tuning: E A D G B E
This tab is for the live version from "Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles".
For reference, a video of the performance can be found at this link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo4746XZgw8
There seems to be material out there that covers up until the second instrumental, so this tab will only be
for the second instrumental.
(Play twice, but the second time don't play the last notes)

(for this next part, John play harmonics on the 12th fretsbends the string by pressing on the section between
the bone nut and the tuning peg. Depending on your guitar, this may or may not be possible. I've written the
bends as if they were standard bend, though some of them are too far to bend normally. I've seen one guy do it
with a whammy, so that might be an option.)

There' a big swell on the last G, and that's the end. Let me know what you think of the tab, especially if you
have any corrections.
