    Story Of A Girl Cover

    Matchbook Romance

  hey, pretty simple song, almost the same as the original. Not too many people have
this version, but i like it better. the chords are just slightly different. i'm not sure if 
got the names right though. once i figure out the solo i'll post it as a comment or something.
