Artist: Jennifer Knapp
Song: Want For Nothing
Album: Letting Go (2010)

Instructions: When Jennifer Knapp performs this song live, she 
seems to use a steady down-up-down-up strumming pattern when using 
her acoustic guitar to play the rhythm guitar part, which may 
sound different to the ear than the way that the rhythm guitar 
part is performed on her album "Letting Go".  That difference is 
most likely due to her performing the rhythm guitar part on the 
album with an electric guitar and using more of a down-down-down-
down strumming pattern throughout.  Also, although I do not use 
the notated chord "C2/G" anywhere in the transcription below, 
Jennifer Knapp does use that chord in the variations she adds 
when performing the song live by herself.  So, feel free to add 
it in as a transition chord when playing the "C/G" chord in the 
verses.  Thanks, and enjoy!!
