Ready For Love by India Arie

Just thought I'd finish what Lyrical posted, and make a couple minor corrections. Remember to add
some flavor to the chords, ie: D at the end of a verse. I also gave examples of Em(9) & D6/9...easy
chords, but sometimes hard to find in some chord books. Enjoy!

They say watch what you ask for 

      Em(9)
Cause you might receive

I’ll say the same thing
