-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:ndermawan

Tuning: Standard
Reference: https://soundcloud.com/idriselba/you-give-me-love
Awesome song by awesomely talented guy Idris Elba! Maverick Sabre's voice on this track works so well
Chorus is played the same as the verse but has many different layering of instruments to make it sound full
- delayed + slightly over-driven guitar playing single strums (can hear clearly at 0.40)
- lead guitar part
- very audible bass lines
- backup singers
- and of course the horns section/woodwind
so apologies if I can't get it all down or tab doesn't sound exactly like it!
