Have You Ever Seen The Rain

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Text File

The slashes indicate a little play with the fingers to make a sort of
slideless slide, if I can say that. For example, in the first measure of the
[VERSE], you'll see the third fret on the A string followed by the 5th fret
on the D string. Try playing it by covering both the A and D strings on the
third fret, hitting the notes on the A string, then on the fourth beat of
the measure, hit the D string and hammer on to the 5th fret. Listen
carefully in the song and you'll hear how it really goes. This was just my
simple way of doing it.

For those who don't know the C/B and the Am/G when playing the guitar part,
here's what I came up with for those:
