I Went In

Chords by Brixton Parker Questions / corrections at snoopy20704@gmail.com This whole song is played ska style (upstrokes on offbeats, muted or no downstrokes) except the bridge, which is strummed normally. He probably plays with barre chords as that's par the course for this style of music, but to make it simpler I transcribed it for capo 2, which is almost all open chords.
