CHORDS



When I play this, it sounds pretty good when you embellish slightly on the
C, Am, and G chords (for instance I'll just hammer-on the D string for the
C & Am, and on the A for the G chord. Listen to the record and you'll hear
what I mean).

INTRO:

snuff out the
        G (320003@1)          C (x32010@1)   CCC
        smoke of our love.
