Pens And Needles Chords & Tabs
Artist: Hawthorn Heights
Song: Pens and Needles
This could possibly be totally wrong but I love this song and had to at least give it
try. It shouldn’t be too bad.
For the 4-4/5 you can also do 8-8/9 on the G string and, the 2-2/4 could (if desired)
7-7/9 on the B string. They seem to do the later in the music video.
This took forever!!!
