Nostalgic song from years back.
I changed the chord rhythm slightly (as in which vowel I place the chord over)
to optimize the melodiousness for solo acoustic play.
If using distortion, I would use power chords and consider dropping the low E to D.
I wrote out only the basic chords to save time and space but if you wish,
replace these: G C D Em Am Bm
|-3--3--2--3-(3)(3)-|
|-3--3--3--3--3--3--|
|-0--0--2--0--2--0--|
with these-<|-0--2--0--2--2--0--|
|-2--3-----2--0--2--|
|-3--------0--------|
Please enjoy:)
