Bread If (ver 3) guitar tab

If (ver 3) by Bread

This is the way I believe the song should be tabbed.  The picking pattern is
constant throughout most of the song:  strings 4, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2.  The
second time through the chorus, when you get to the end of the second line, jump
down to the ending.  The easiest way to play measures six and seven of the chorus
is to bar the entire 2nd fret and finger the third string, third fret for measure
six; then move your finger down to the second string, third fret for measure
seven.  If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, e-mail me at
