Standard Tuning
I wanted to play this song acoustically so I came up with this to kind of mix the
bass and guitar together and I think it sounds
pretty decent. Works best if you have another guitar to play the little lead part
during the chorus.
Just as a heads-up, this is how I play the chords but you can do it any other way
(this just sounds best to me):
A (x02220@1)C#m (x13321@4)name="chord_133111@4">Abm B (x2444x@1) E (022100@1)Eb/B
