Artist: Fall Out Boy
Song: What A Catch Donnie (Acoustic)
Tuning: Standard [EADGBe]
Notes: *I feel like the other versions of this song are missing some of the
intricacies that are being played and that the bridge is
actually more than a repetition of the chorus
*Please let me know your thoughts in the comments section and rank
the tab. I'm happy to make improvements!
*At Bridge Break, play the Aadd9, then only the roots thereafter
