This is my first tab/chord. I wanted to play some NoFX songs
but they're either all tabs or they're for two guitar parts.
I made a chord version of mattersville and it sounds really
good on an acoustic too; thats what I wrote the chords with.
I'm not sure what the opening chord is but I think it's a high
E. Also the chord Mike drops to from the 3rd note in the chorus (G)
in the song I am not sure what it is, but I think its an F or F#,
I play D it sounds good alone but way off if playing w/ the song.
Anyway, any questions or comments can be sent to me at
keydemographic@yahoo.com
Enjoy!
