Biography:
The Menzingers originally formed after the dissolution of Bob And The Sagets, a band local to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area of Pennsylvania. With the addition of Greg Barnett the band recorded a demo/self-released album "A Lesson In The Abuse Of Information Technology" in 2006.
Shortly thereafter they were signed by Go-Kart Records and re-recorded the songs from "A Lesson" and re-released their album with the addition of some new tracks.

You were an old friend

That we both learned on our Mexican guitars
G Bm
On our Mexican guitars, on our Mexican guitars
G Bm
On our Mexican guitars, on our Mexican guitars
G F#m
You were my old friend
