This is my first guitar tab and I am glad to say that it's a song by The Mayfield Four. I did my best on this song but I am still not sure with some parts of the song. No one has made a guitar tab for Mayfield, so I decided to get started on some. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please email me at MF4Elite@earthlink.net

 

Thanks and enjoy!
