Goo Goo Dolls – What Do You Need

I’m not sure what your opinion will be of this tab. It should be
correct i’ve updated it recently (2004) so yeah hopefully it’s
correct :)…
I’ve found that Johnny plays this in one of his weird tunings again
(thank God he’s going to “re-learn” Standard tuning and how to play
in it better) the tuning is DGCFAE.
I prefer it in standard ‘cause i don’t have to go changing everything
all the time meaning more goo songs to play.

Tuning: STANDARD

Keys:
/ slide up
() play note softly (doesn’t apply where it says
Riff 1/2, etc… – only notes played)
