Rid Of Me
View chords used in this chart
The chords are A, F and G, and it's really easy apart from the timing of the
opening bit, which goes:
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
A A . A A A . A . A . A A A . A
(Hint: play them all with down strokes, and hit the strings in a steady, eighth
note pulse. Use your left hand to sound the chords, ie: fret the chord on the
parts where the chord sounds, mute the strings on all the rest (the `.' bits).
So...
