ORDINARY by You Am I Here's a couple o' additions to the previously tabbed version, which I think is a bit closer again. As with the previous version, I've included the barre and open chords. With the open version, the Bm I use isn't actually a Bm, but that progression just seems to flow really nicely. As always standard tuning. Enjoy!

This is completely from memory, so apologies for any mistakes. As the previous tabbers suggested, you can play it both with open and barre chords. For your pleasure, I provide both.

Can't quite remember if the last bar is correct or not, there may be an F C F progression thrown in for good measure, but most of it won't be far away if you get the rhythm pattern correct.
