 Nathaniel Rateliff - I Am

 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 

 
 Tuning: Standard
 Capo: 5
 
 The first and the second verse are very similar but the notes changes from here to there
 but it's fun to play around with the picking pattern. The places where I have just put
 the chords is where he kind of strums the chords instead of using the picking pattern.
 Great song nonetheless, hope you enjoy it!
