which I'll try to find time to post. In the meantime, here's my contribution to the G-C-D catalog.
Ok, incredibly easy, but there is a nice collection of Gin Bloosoms at Nevada, so this might
as well join them. I consider any song to be an instant classic if it contains the phrase "I'm drunk
drunk drunk"...
I believe the chords are mostly correct, although I sure would appreciate any corrections.
