Old Age (demo version) by Hole
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is based on the original 1993 demo version of the song, which appears on the
'Beautiful Son' single as a b side. Although these chords are virtually the same as with the
other versions of this song, I feel a separate tab is necessary for this since the
lyrics and timing are different. It's entirely acoustic guitar, which was unusual for this band
at the time, and the strumming patterns are a bit rapid, but the folky upstrokes and
downstrokes sound really cool. Listen to the track for timing. These chords all sound like
they're being played open.
