M2M — Payphone Tab
"Payphone" by M2M. From the album "The Big Room" (2002).
Tabbed by Medalion (medalionemissary@hotmail.com).
This is a piano song, you can barely hear the guitar in this song.
So I apologise if the guitar "riffs" don't sound
exactly like the song, because they are piano parts actually.

Piano Solo tabbed for guitar (may not be 100% correct but is very close):

That's pretty much it.
