I Wrote This Song Chords & Tabs
"I Wrote This Song" by Making April
This version is 100% accurate. It's played in standard tuning with a capo on the third
It's pretty simple and fun to sing along with. Although this guy sings like he was kicked
the testicles at certain points and I can't reach quite that high but whatever. Have fun!
