Want You Gone Chords & Tabs
Here is another version of Want You Gone. I had the previous song, "Still
alive", in mind when writing this and did not listen to the original while
guessing the chords. The idea is to have a version better suited for when
you don't have other instruments accompanying the guitar.
(I used JamieMin0r's version from ultimate-guitar.com as a template.)
