(Chorus)

End on a strum of E

This was my first chord i recorded because i figured it would be easy enough to write a 
accurate one, i checked it over again and again and it all fits. if any one is 
in playing the power chords as used in the song the chords are still A B E but 
they are played like so
      A   B  E
-|-------------------|
-|-------------------|
-|-----------9-------|
-|----7---9--9-------|
-|----7---9--7-------|
-|----5---7----------|

i personaly prefer chords but its all preferances.

i hope you all enjoy 500 miles its fun to sind along or try to get your friends and 
tosing along while you just strum away.

please leave comments or suggestions this is my first contribution to ultimate guitar. 
you.
