This is what jason tait plays, the leads, john sampson just strums the chords so
find a friend to strum with you throught the intro and verse you can use a tremelo
if you have one if not it doesn’t really matter its really a good song to rock out
too cause the lead is so simple the weakerthans are so smart sorry you’ll have to
get the timeing from the song. The drums are fantastic in this song too. the A/E
chord may sound funny if your playing it by yourself but trust me its right
Tuning: standard
