Make A Mistake

View chords used in this chart
These are the chord shapes I believe are used, although I'm not too
sure about the names of some of them...and they're just the basic
shapes. Check the intro tab for most of the embelishments used.
Check my tab for this song for an example of the picking used throughout.
Where I mark a chord as ?1, ?2, or ?3.. these are close to the deliberate
mistakes Brad makes in the song...lol
I've added some tab at the end for the middle section, you'll know that
cos the chords are different from all the verses.. :o)
Have fun.....!!
