There is already a transcription of this Song at COWPIE, but it has many wrong/missing chords. So I decided to do a exact transription. "I'm Already Taken" By Steve Wariner Written by Terry Ryan and Steve Wariner To be found on the CD "TWO TEARDROPS" Key in G - Standard Guitar Tuning Transcribed by Bahram ( Bahram@garthworld.de ) This is the first time I am doing a tabulature transcription. I hope that I haven't done anything wrong here and hope that you'll enjoy playing the song as much as me. Just do me a favor : If you ever play this song, then play it with the smooth and soft feeling that it deserves. That's the reason why I spent more time on transcribing this song, then on any other song before.
