FORGET ME
by owen (the promise ring cover)
from his album "other people's songs"
tabbed by drew ([email protected])
despite loving the original version by the promise ring, i have a soft spot
for mike kinsella's version. it's a bit more folksy and laid back.
i had trouble pinpointing the second chord in the chorus, but what i've got
below fits most of the time, particularly when it's arpeggiated.
hope you enjoy playing this as much as i do.
