I Want It That Way

Artist: Backstreet Boys
Title: I want it that way 

Tabbed by: Matt Corkum
([email protected])

Drop D Tuning! (Tune your E string down a whole step (2 notes)
to D. The 12th fret of the E should be the same the open D string.

Also, the recording itself is tuned down approx 1/4 step, so you'll
have to do the same if you wish to play along.

This is just the basic tab. There are a couple of octave fills, etc.,
but this will get the song going.

Guitar Chords are listed above the bass tabs and in conjunction with
the lyrics.
