Over The Cliff Cifra por Old 97's
A fun, fast song off of their 1995 record "Wreck Your Life" with some obvious punk influences. I used this live performance for reference. Rhett fumbles the C-D-Em-C part several times, playing G instead of Em, but by about halfway through the song he starts playing it right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZ-3IIQjUsE.
