Whats In Store Chords & Tabs
The chord Progression for the entire song is BM C#m D#m EM
I tried to put the chord progression above each riff to help figure out the timing
but it also helps to listen to the song and play with it.
Although its never really played if you did want to play the chords they sound
best played like this
