This is my first post. I couldn't an accurate chord chart so I decided to make my own, then I didn't want to keep it to myself because this song/album/band is amazing!This is all original (I didn't copy and paste, or read anyone else's transcription) I think it is at least 95% accurate. My spelling of "whine" is intentional. Inbox me for questions/comments.
