Nostalgic song from years back.
I changed the chord rhythm slightly (as in which vowel I place the chord over)
to optimize the melodiousness for solo acoustic play.
If using distortion, I would use power chords and consider dropping the low E to D.
I wrote out only the basic chords to save time and space but if you wish,
replace these: G5 C5 D5 E5 A5 B5
| -3--3--2--3-(3)(3)- |
| -3--3--3--3--3--3-- |
| -0--0--2--0--2--0-- |
with these-< | -0--2--0--2--2--0-- |
| -2--3-----2--0--2-- |
| -3--------0-------- |
Please enjoy:)
