Please don’t ask me to smile-You am I (Rogers/You am I) Tabbed by Matt Jones Version 2: Note: This song is played with two guitars one with a capo on the 4th fret and one without a capo so it’s hard to get the exact sound. The capoed guitar plays the lead fills and the tabbing at the end is relative to the capo.
