This is my first post. I couldn't
an accurate chord chart so I decided 
to make my own, then I didn't want 
to keep it to myself because this 
song/album/band is amazing!This is 
all original (I didn't copy and 
paste, or read anyone else's 
transcription) I think it is at least 
95% accurate. My spelling of "whine" 
is intentional. Inbox me for 
questions/comments.
