What If You — Joshua Radin
Chords and lyrics for What If You by Joshua Radin (key of G).
Verse 1
The original song is done fingerpicking style. There are a few tabs on UG
that get the basic pattern. I play
my own variation, but I think the hammer-ons are a key to getting the
sound, regardless of the fingerpicking
pattern you use. See
or
for tab details
