A couple of us pulled out our guitars at a party the other day and my sister asked if we could do Am I Too Blue by Lucinda Williams. None of us knew it enough to play it, and I couldn't find anything on-line, so I thought i'd take a stab at figuring it out. This is it as close as I can tell (the chords are correct, the fills I can't guarantee). On the actual recording, there are more fills, but this is the Easy Song Database, after all

Let me know if you see any problems (I know there's a solo in there I haven't tabbed, but I've reached the limits of my ability - and maybe gone beyond).
Blame it on the lies that killed us, blame it on the truth that ran us down.
Thanks Slydog! Great song, easy and fun. I have her cd with that song and had a very enjoyable night struming along with her.
