WAIT TIL TOMORROW - John Mayer

Tabbed by: xadioriderx (Ryan)

Tuning: Eb-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb-eb
This is the main part of the song, minus the solo. Mayer changes it up some here
and there, quite a bit, but this will get you through the main parts!
Strum direction is listed above because that is one of the hardest things
to gauge in this song. All deadened strums (except the rakes) are created
like a palm mute but slightly away from the bridge so it completely deadens
the strings. Your palm is just bouncing off the strings while youre making
the strum - the best explanation is to try strumming the deadened strums with
your only your palm. no sound? good, now add your pick in with it, you get
deadened strums.
Strums that are hyphenated together above the tab are quick - like you would
play while palm muting "down-up" on a single string - youre hand never leaves
the strings on the down, it comes immediately up.
