Chords: A D A - F#m E A
There is a second guitar, an acoustic that plays the lead. It appears as though it is
capoed on the second fret using the chords:
G (320003@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C G- (320003@1)Em (022000@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D G (320003@1)Pretty simple song, it just repeats over and over. There are a lot of simple little
leads, that I plan on adding later, but I usually never do. The chord changes aren't in the
exact spot, but they are close, and it's a super simple rhythm.
