5 Guitar Amps for Beginners That Are Actually Great
Afinação: E A D GTecla: AbCapotraste: Sem capotraste
This should be played with a pick. Note that the verse timing is a bit interesting - I have written it as a
6/4 and a 8/4, although you could interpret it as a 6/4 and 2 bars of 4/4, or split the 6/4 into a 4/4 and a
2/4.
[Intro] - 2 beats intro - guitar only.
[Verse 1]
"I had to go into the other room..."

Note on the second repeat of this line, it sounds like there is an extra note played on the
second bar. I think this is a Guitar playing the line, but may be the bass.
