Hello everyone and welcome to my endevour to keep myself sane. I'm going to submit a set
of chords to UG for a great song once or twice a week in an effort to stop myself dying
of boredom during these exam thingys. I've been playing these chords for as long as I've
played guitar (two years...) and so I know for a fact they're accurate.
