Too Cool For School Chords & Tabs
Too Cool For School Chords
I'll assume you know the rythm of the song and everything, so I'll just put the chords...
I know the chords are right, but they add some weird notes to it I tried to get
them right, this is the best I could do...
C#7: x4345x
F#m7: 242222 or 242252
A: x02220 or 577655
B: x24442 or 799877
D: xx0232 or x57775
Dm: xx0231 or x57765
C#: X46664
F#m^: xx4x55
This is what the 2nd guitar basically does while the other one plays the F#m7...
Actually it only does the F#m^ chord, but I added the other part for you to
understand the rythm...
