Just heard this song for the first time on Limewire. It's off Aimee's forthcoming
album Smilers. Sounds like a really cool song and the chords were easy to tab so
I thought I'd post it up.

That's it. If you can't be bothered tuning down half a step, or you want to use a
capo, then just play it in the corresponding key. But I'm sure these are the
right chord progressions.
