Song: Terrific
Artist: Drake Bell
Album: 2011 TBA album
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This was the oddest song I've had to figure out as there are so many chords and
quite a lot of variety to those chords too!
If some parts are inaccurate then please tell me in a comment but it should sound
more or less right as I listened to different versions and managed to see some of
the chords Drake was playing in videos of him at concerts.
Where you'll see a phrase or a word in between two of these *s is where I couldn't
figure out the lyrics properly but once the album is out I'll be able to change
the lyrics and chords if anything is different.
