I Cant Make You Love Me Tab

by Bonnie Raitt


Here's my version of Bonnie Raitt's "I can't make you love me.? 
The Intro is a CHORD-MELODY (which was played on piano in the 
original version).  This is a bit different from many of my other
submissions - Nonetheless it's fairly self explanatory as always.
Have fun . . . Ian C.T. vom Saal
