Feelin'
Van Halen (Balance)

Transcribed by: Mike Heasley ([email protected])

	I grabbed the tab for this off of ftp.nevada.edu and thought it was
	close but not quite right.  So here's my rendition.  I basically
	just edited the version that was transcribed by Bob Brockman
	([email protected]).  Corrections, comments,
	suggestions, flames, etc. welcome.

Repeat parts 4 through 6:

     if i were you, you were me
     i wonder who i'd wanna be
     with just one wish you can't refuse
     i wouldn't know what to choose
