I Want The One I Can't Have Chords
This is copied from the tabs posted by Craig Ablitt. I changed some of the Bm and C chords to Bm7 and Cmaj7
chords and a few other small tweaks based on the website SmithsonGuitar.com where they have multiple songbooks
available. Otherwise, this is mostly the tabs originally posted by Craig Ablitt, who did a great job with the
song.
