Precious Pain
-------------
>From Melissa Etheridge's first album. The basic picking pattern is:
e ---------*--------|| e ---------*--------||
B -------------*-*--|| B -------------*-*--||
G --------------*--.||for F&G G ------*-------*--.||for Am&C
D ------*----------.|| D ----*------------.||
A ----*-------------|| A -*----------------||
E -*----------------|| E ------------------||
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
1 2 1 2
and from the halfway through the first verse on, pretty much the whole
song follows this pattern. The intro and first line use a different
picking pattern (which is more difficult to follow AND keep time AND sing
to), so I suggest getting used to the core pattern before trying the
intro/1st verse.

* is the bass line
/ is bend up
\ is release bend
/ \
12-(14)-12 is pick d at the twelfth fret, bend up to e and rls bend to a
sl is slide
$- I think that the bridge goes UP from Dm->Em->Am, but Am at the 12th
fret sounds a bit weak, also the band/bass has come in a lot by this
point, so you could easily get away with a standard Am (at the nut).
Any improvements welcome.
