[E] [A] [D] [A]
Hey, ah-a-ha x 2
What I like about you
You hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
One that's comin' over tonight
Chorus
Keep on whispering in my ear
Tell me all the things that I wanna hear
'Cause that's true (What I like about you)
That's what I like about you (What I like about you)
What I like about you
You really know how to dance
When you go up, down, jump around
Think about true romance
Yeah
Chorus
That's what I like about you (What I like about you)
That's what I like about you (What I like about you)
Wow
Break [G] [D] [G] [A] [B]
Hey
What I like about you
You keep me warm at night
Never wanna let you go
Know you make me feel alright
Yeah
Chorus
That's what I like about you (What I like about you)
That's what I like about you (What I like about you)
Whispered:
That's what I like about you x 3 (What I like)
That's what I like about you (What I like about you)
Hey, ah-A-ha
Hey x 3
Hey ! (all)
Ah-A-ha, Brrrrr, hey, ah-A-ha
Hey ! (all)

Note: The INTRO on the previously submitted version of "What I Like About You"
was wrong. This is the correct way to play it. I play the rest of the song as
I've shown here. The song speeds up after you play the VERSE about 14x, and
also the strum pattern changes. It's probably not the way they play it on the
record, but it sounds good enough for now. When you play the (D) chord, keep
your index finger barred on those three strings on the second fret, your middle
on the third fret (D), and your third finger on the fourth fret (F#). That way,
you don't have to move your fingers at all when you play the (A) chord.

ok thers basicly two parts you need to know. Ill call them verse 1 and 2 to
keep it simple. Im pretty sure this is right but i dont no i could be wrong
im just a kid but thers no other bass tabs for this so i went an did the best
i could. ENJOY!!
Intro: just pedal open E untill he says Hey!
Verse 1:
G----------------|
D----------------|
A---------55-----| 4x
E--0--55------55-|
Verse 2:
G-------------------------|
D-------------------------|
A-------------5-555-------| 4x
E-0000--5555---------5555-|
and you basicly just repeat those two over an over again.
