'Ready For Love' by India Arie - Guitar Tutorial

            Just thought I'd finish what Lyrical posted, and make a couple minor corrections. Remember to add
some flavor to the chords, ie: D at the end of a verse. I also gave examples of Em(9) & D6/9...easy
chords, but sometimes hard to find in some chord books. Enjoy!
