Someone to Call My Lover Tabs & Lyrics by Janet Jackson
Someone to Call My Lover
guitar tabs lyrics
This tab was created because other tabs only contained the melody, but there was no rhythm guitar.
This is a great song by Janet Jackson. I would first give props to whoever figured out the melody
but I never found a name attached to it. However, out of respect, I won't claim it as my own.
The rest I figured out, though; real simple riff.
The song is made for two guitars: lead (melody riff) & rhythm (other riffs)

Feeling kinda lonely He'll drive a funky car
And looking for the right guy Maybe we'll meet at a club
