Please Note: I have tabbed two versions of this song. The First is Norah Jones Version of Turn Me On.
The Second is Nina Simone's Version which requires you to detune your guitar -20 cents to be
in tune with Nina Simone's track.
This is Norah Jones Version with normal tuning : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwUtA8bUS30
