Inaudible Melodies Chords & Tabs
This is an awesome song, with some really cool guitar parts. It can be a bit
tricky at first but is really pretty fun to play and sing to. The only part I
think might be a bit off the original would be the end of the first verse,
but it still sounds perfectly fine, and that is how I play it. Just listen
to the song if you have questions. But, enjoy!
