John Mayer - Heart of life

tabbed by Joe Fitter - shitforbrains30@hotmail.com/joefitter@hotmail.com

ok, hard song to play, not as hard as stop this train but involves the same
kinda picking pattern, i strongly suggest learning this one before even
attempting stop this train. the notes in brackets aren't actually played in
heart of life but when played you have the same picking pattern as in stop this train, 
how i tackled that one. check my stop this train tab out,
its version 3, also check out noah needleman's tutorial on youtube, it helps!
good luck.
