Straight Line Chords & Tabs
This is a great song by Clear Conscience and its pretty easy to play. I watched how it
was played in a live video so I'm certain this tab is near 100% correct. If you have a
boss phase shifter or any phaser pedal it sounds really nice for this song. Also a wah
pedal adds nicely to this song as well.

This is a little something something I like to throw in right after the single F chord
in the chorus to
transition back into the verse, feel free to use it if you like it, its just two chords
strummed once each
