hey i put Chords on all the verses so you'll have to just listen for the chord 
changes. if it really angers you for some reason that i didn't, then i guess e-
mail be at boredbrian27@aim.com and i'll do it if i can get around. thanx :)


a bmM7 is a b minor with a Major 7 (AJ plays it with 2nd fret on A string moved 
down one fret, but i play it with a bminor with my G string having the 7th on the 
3rd fret)   the same thing is done with the amM7 but with instead of AJ moving 
down a fret on the A string, he plays an aminor with a pinky on the fourth fret of 
the bass E string. and questions about them, e-mail me i guess. enjoy :)
