“i’m watching you watch over me…”
Interlude thingy:
just mess around with the pre-chorus chords
i think that’s mostly the whole song. there’s probably a few other little details i missed, so if you find them e-mail me
(address is at the top). i know there’s a variation on the intro riff somewhere in the middle where it goes all crazy, but i
am WAY too lazy to figure that out now. oops; oh well. anyways, i’m done now. thanks for reading my tab; i can’t wait for the
new silverchair CD. peace out, rock the mullet.
