Hot Mess

Mostly accurate transcription of a live acoustic version the boys had up for quite a while. Video was privated before the bridge/outro were finished -- they're a best guess using the original recording. Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste Played this by ear a few years ago off a now-private live video of the boys playing this song. This version is slightly different than the official, some mild lyric timing changes. Was asked for tabs on my cover, and set out to clean it up to be accurate to that version but got thrown a loop when the video was made private before I finished reworking the bridge and outro. Can be easily messed around with to sound like the official version -- the basic outline of the song/chords is all here.
