Ok Chaps!!
I've decided to put down the correct-a-mundo version of this tune.
I fell upon the correct chords when I was putting the finishing
touches on my "Jesus" Rock Opera...
...Now...whence you have played the chords and have sung the first line
I urge you to knuckle down and learn the whole song: music and
words.
Clearly it's not hard in the slightest and when you've got it down
at least you'll have one complete song to play your girlfriend, or
boyfriend (if you're a chick, or any combination of the above).
Then it's a case of getting 8 more tunes and you'll be the hit
busker of your town. I suggest some of the following as good combos:
Daughter - Pearl Jam
Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes
Plush - STP
Yellow - Coldplay
Patience - G n' R
Ironic - Alanis
Love Song - Amiel
Etc, etc...
Now on to the Correct Version of the "RockStar" tune "Colorful"
by the Verve Pipe (apparently).
You guys will need to figure out the timing. It's the best way to learn.
Honestly!!

This is 100% correct...or so the little invisible man on my shoulder
keeps telling me. That, and other things like I should look at my asshole
in the mirror. Ciao dude-a-rinos
