Re: Ted Hawkins, "I got what I wanted" tab and lyrics

: Does anybody have or know where I can go to find the Tab and Lyrics for this beautiful song? I've looked all over, but it seems all I can come up with is "Here stands the Glass". Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Im not sure where you can get the tab for Teds music, however it is very simple stuff, as you know its the technique that makes it happen!!

I was lucky enough to see Ted play in Leeds back in the late eighties from what I could see Ted had his guitar tuned to 'open E' and then put a capo on at F sharp. He played all his songs (from what I could see) by simply barring the fret with one finger.

In 'I got what I wanted' he plays F sharpe (put the capo here) B and D flat all in open E with capo applied as above.

Try it out and you will soon get the idea.

Hope this helps
