Track: The Swiss Army Romance
Album: Swiss Army Romance
Artist: Dashboard Confessional
I worked this out as I couldn't be bothered to tune down for the song (like alot of his,
tunes down a semitone), and you can play along with
the album track no problem. Listen to the track for strumming patterns, especially the
section, as the pattern changes.
