Members Only by Sheryl Crow

Rob's notes:  Where the "C*" appears with the asterisk it's just a passing note listen to the record.

It's in 4/4 time, no capo, although the recording speed has been altered and its slightly off concert pitch.

David's notes:  Lower all strings by half a tone. Chords between() mean they continue from previous verse.
