Precious Pain
 -------------

>From Melissa Etheridge's first album. The basic picking pattern is:

e ---------*--------||         e ---------*--------||
B -------------*-*--||         B -------------*-*--||
G --------------*--.||for F&G  G ------*-------*--.||for Am&C
D ------*----------.||         D ----*------------.||
A ----*-------------||         A -*----------------||
E -*----------------||         E ------------------||
   ^       ^       ^              ^       ^       ^
   1       2                      1       2

and from the halfway through the first verse on, pretty much the whole
song follows this pattern. The intro and first line use a different
picking pattern (which is more difficult to follow AND keep time AND sing
to), so I suggest getting used to the core pattern before trying the
intro/1st verse.

sl is slide

$- I think that the bridge goes UP from Dm->Em->Am, but Am at the 12th
fret sounds a bit weak, also the band/bass has come in a lot by this
point, so you could easily get away with a standard Am (at the nut).

Any improvements welcome.
