Mraz Jason — The Remedy Acoustic

 Song:  The Remedy (I Won't Worry) -- Acoustic
Artist:  Jason Mraz
Submitted By:  Kyle Voiles

This is Jason Mraz's acoustic version of this song which is just a lot of fun
to play.  He does a lot of muting and slapping in this version, which I don't 
always show in the tab, but these fingerings ARE correct.  The timing is hard
to show here but if you download the acoustic version you'll understand it 
better.  Note -- this may NOT specifically match the radio version of the song.
His acoustic version is a little different, and much better in my opinion.  :)
