I recently started listening to a lot of Cee-Lo Green's music, and this song is
ne of my favorites. I was happy to discover that the song was quite simple to
learn by ear. The only chord I had trouble figuring out was the Bb (the recording
sounds like a variation other than major or minor, but I can't quite pin it down),
but a barre chord works just fine.
I hope this tab works for you!
(On the D, mute the high E string throughout)
