SONG TITLE: You Oughta Know
ARTIST/GROUP: Alanis Morrisette
ALBUM: Jagged Little Pill
TRANSCRIBED BY: Louis Visscher
**********************************************************************
I M P O R T A N T N O T E F R O M Q U A L I T Y T A B S:
This song was not transcribed by me so don't blame me if it's wrong.
I've played the tab and it sounds very right to my ears, but I can't
listen to the song to confirm it, since I don't have the CD.
I've made some changes on the look of the file, but no changes
on transcription itself. It's all Louis Visscher's work. Thanks
to him for this file and his other Alanis tabs.
CHORDS:
-------
EADGBE EADGBE
F# (244322) F#2 (x-9-11-11-11-x)
B (x24442) B2 (x-14-16-16-16-x)
E (022100) A7 (57565x)
A (x02220) B7 (x24242)
This is my first try tabbing this GREAT song. Comments, additions,
corrections, better tabs, everything is very welcome. Please mail them
to me. [and qualitytabs ;)]
The `+' above the tab represents the beat; `~~~' indicates the length
of a sustained note (so it is not a vibrato-sign!)
N.C. means 'no chord', don't play anything.
Guitar 1 (overdriven) plays the chords that are indicated above the
lyrics in the tab. An `x' means a scratch.
Guitar 2 plays the tab. It is a clean guitar, with tremolo. Maybe the
tab for guitar 2 is an octave too high, I'm not sure.
OK, here we go.
VERSE 1:

I want you to know that I'm happy for you.
I wish nothing but the best for you both.
