Tabbed by: adslam3
- I cant believe no one's tabbed this. This is a song off of
Life Won't Wait. My friend tought me this back when I was first learning
to play guitar so I figured I'd put it up for ol' time sake. Enjoy
--really easy song, but NO solo yet!! sorry.
---ALSO, at the bottom is a 'just chords' version that's easy to read.
Tuning: Standard
NOTE: I'm not going to show strumming. Just listen for changes.
