Mr. Big Stuff Jean Knight
While I was driving around in the very snowy and grey 1st Hill section of
Seattle, this song popped up on my Pandora and I was all outta skips. So
I was stuck listening to this and the up beat sound of the song kinda made
my day feel a little better. I tried looking for a tab and all that was
here was a poorly constructed one. So I took the challenge to tab this funk
classic. If you have any trouble with the timing of the song, please listen
closely to the guitar part. Also, when you've made your final judgement on
the tab, please rate and leave a comment.

And that should be that for Mr. Big Stuff by Jean Knight. I tried the best I
can at trying to get the exact chord placement over the wording, but it was
kinda difficult to hear exactly where they go. This should be pretty close
though. As I've stated before, please rate and comment my tab when you have
made your final judgement. And, if you liked this tab, feel free to stop by
