2º versão:
Fade Away, by Oasis
Song can be found on the "Cigarettes & Alcohol" single. A great tune!
[NOTE: a few of these chords forms may be slightly different (maybe
Dsus2=D?) on the CD, because the only version of this song I have is off a
bootleg where Noel does it acoustic, but I figure it should be the same.]
