Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
This is a tab of sorts to the song by Carly
Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe. It is the vocal part with each note
denoting a word in the lyrics. Enjoy!

I threw a wish in the well, Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked to you as it
fell, and now you're in my way.

I trade my soul for a wish, pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for
this, but now you're in my way

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right, at you baby, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?
And all the other boys, try to chase me, but here's my number, so call me, maybe?

This is just the melody in the chorus. If you want to do a metal/rock cover of this
song, this should be helpful.
