Sideshow Tornado

Biography:

Bob Schneider (born October 12, 1965) is an American musician based in Austin, TX. He is the former lead-singer of Ugly Americans.

For nearly ten years, Schneider has performed a Monday night residency at the Saxon Pub, an intimate and legendary venue on South Lamar, Austin, Texas. Schneider and the members of Lonelyland, the band name that he uses to keep these shows “underground,” are seated on stage as they work through a “live rehearsal” of songs that Schneider calls up from his repertoire of over four hundred songs.

Empty bottle in my hand

***NOTES:
The "Fsus2" can also be a "Csus4", but I used the 'F' notation so that you wouldn't get
confused with the other regular 'C' when playing. You can technically just play a
"F" but if you want it to be perfect you have to play it as shown above in the "CHORDS USED" section.
