I can't speak for anyone else, but I, personally, would love to see some fingerpicking tab in the Easy Song Database. Anybody out there got anything to share? I'll throw in all of my Beatles Fingerpicking stuff (except it's in .pdf format - is that acceptable? If it is, let me know and I'll put it out here.). But, in that vein, here's 'If' by 'Bread'.

And, for those of you who aren't interested in fingerpicking - here's 'If' by 'Bread' with chords and lyrics.
Intro: A E7 Em7 D9 Bb+7 A Dm6 E7 007600 006400 005400 004230 003230 002220 000201 020130


 A E7 Em7 D9

007600 006400 005400 004230

If a picture paints a thousand words, then why can't I paint you?
 Bb+7 A Dm6 E7

003230 002220 000201 020100

The words will never show the you I've come to know.
 A E7 Em7 D9

If a face could launch a thousand ships, then where am I to go?
 Bb+7 A Dm6 E7

There's no one home but you -- you're all that's left me to.
Bridge:
 F#m Fdim(III) F#m D6

244222 003434 244222 000202

And when my love for life is running dry,
 C#m7-5 F#7 Bm7-5 E7

045450 242322 023230 020100

You'll come and pour your-self on me.
 A E7 Em7 D9

If a man could be two places at one time, I'd be with you;
 Bb+7 A Dm6 E7

Tomorrow and today, beside you all the way.
 A E7 Em7 D9

If the world should stop revolving, spinning slowly down to die,
 Bb+7 A Dm6 E7

I'd spend the end with you, and when the world was through,
 F#m Fdim(III) F#m D6

Then one by one, the stars would all go out,
 C#m7-5 F#7 Bm Bm7 Bm7-5

045450 242322 224432 004432 023230

Then you and I would sim - ply fly
 E7 A D9 Bb+7 A

020100 002220 004230 003230 002220

A - way.

This version looks very similar to David Hodge's. Note the tuning.
Yesterday - The Beatles by John Lennon/Paul McCartney
