Tab by Anthony Hoover
This song was written about a girl with dyslexia whose mother can't understand the
disability and thinks her daughter is just being
rebellious when all the daughter wants is her mother's love.

I did this all by ear and I know I didn't get the strumming quite right
but the chords definately sound a lot better to me than they did when
I tried playing the other tabs. This is a great song and I look forward
to all comments on how to make it better! Thanks!
