John Cougar Mellencamp

John Cougar Mellencamp - Jack And Diane guitar tab

Jack & Diane by John Cougar Mellencamp

Tabbed by Ryan O'Connor

-------------------------------------------------------------

This song takes a little practise, but it's really good when

you get it correct (and unplugged!). Don't give up!

I'd seen a few tabs for this song, but none were quite

right, so I have tabbed the whole thing out from ear.

Dots below the bar in this tab mean to raise your fingers

ever so slightly on the fretboard, to achieve a loud

acoustic muting sound (that will have an overtone of the

chord). If you like this tab please tell me: ryan at

exactly like this, just get the timing right!)
