Jars of Clay
Can't Erase It
"If I Left the Zoo"
Written by Jars of Clay, tabbed by David Schroder

NOTES ABOUT SONG: Pretty basic song with simple guitar parts.  Listen to
the acoustic strumming on the verses to get the timing down; it's mostly a
simple muting after each chord. The acoustic riff is mostly an optional
thing and sounds best when played without an additional electric guitar.
If you don't wanna use the riff, play Em and G for those parts. Also, make
sure to check out the instrument listing in the CD jacket to figure out who
plays what percussion; definitely some Dennis Herring influence in there.
