Song: Rocksteady
Album: The Way I Feel
Tabbed by: Louise Cloma
"Rocksteady" is a pretty easy song to play. I figured it out by
listening to it a couple of times. This is my first tab I have put up
on the net. Have mercy, I'm in my early teens!! It is in standard
tuning E A D G B E.

Tell me [Am7]how, baby
Could it open my [Bm7]eyes.[Bbm7]
For the n[Am7]ight
It took me by su[Bm7]prise.

[Am7] Rocksteady can't break my world.
Nobody's ever gonna think t[Bm7]wice.
Oh how I, o[Bbm7]ften try
