SAY GOODBYE - Chris Brown
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Submitted: August 5th 2010
Last Updated: August 12th 2010

Tabbed by: Wayne S
Tuning: Standard FFBBGF

Capo: 1

Chords:

Fm: 002210
C: 133211
F: 032010
B: 320033 or 355433
Bm: 000231 (only used in Intro)

Chord in brackets (eg. the Fm above "I swear it'll only take..") mean either:
- The chord is continued from the end of the previous line and in the same bar
- It is above "secondary" lyrics, eg. when lyrics overlap like the end of the hook
I KNOW" and start of the chorus "THERE'S never a right time...". By secondary I
mean the less important chord.
In the given example, the lyrics in brackets overlap, but the start of the chorus is more
important than the end of the hook.

Note: The timing for the intro was very hard to represent in this tab. Hopefully if you know
the song well enough, you might be able to recognise where to sing. I tried to Do it for a
few of the points but as I said, it was quite challenging.

Basically the number (eg. [1]) is supposed to be aligned with the note you pluck. That [1]
is also put above the bit of the song you're supposed to sing when that note is plucked (or
relatively close to that lyric).

Please leave any comments/ratings/corrections/suggestions.

C Girl it's not you, it's me
IF kinda gotta figure out what I neeBd (oh)
