=========================================================================== VIOLENT FEMMES – Gone Daddy Gone Tuning: standard Many versions of this song suggest to play the chorus in an eeeeeasy way that may be acceptable but I like to play it a little bit differently. It's as easy as the other versions and it adds "something" to it.
