My Stunning Mystery Companion - Jackson Browne
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Matt Ciccone
E-mail: [email protected]
Can't believe this song is not on here. Jackson wrote this song for his girl-
friend of more than 10 years because he could not think of a what to call her
when people asked if they were married. This is what he came up with...
Tuning: Double Drop D
Capo on First Fret
Though I break up each segment, note that everything flows into each other, there is no break
intended at the end of any segment.
Intro:
Strum each chord lightly until the next note is plucked
