Penny For Your Thoughts Tab 1:

[tabbed by bigredchuck]

 

Tuning:open g DGDGBD

this is my first posting but i am fairly accurate with the tab, this is a great

song for anyone who likes to fingerpick. I don't have the song to listen to so

the exact order may not be correct, so just plug each part where its suppose to be.
