Rhythm Of Love

Plain White Ts

Text File

I saw Plain White T's perform this song on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Tim was using
a capo on the 8th fret and Tom on the 4th.
Gtr. 1 (acoustic): Capo 8 [All guitars are in standard tuning, EADGBE]
Gtr. 2 (acoustic): Capo 4 [All chords are relative to capo]
Gtr. 3 (electric): no capo
ALL Chords in parenthesis are Gtr.2
I think the G/B in the bridge may just be a G and the B is probably played by the bass, 
you can play it either way.

Intro:
