Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Fairly straight forward song, this is my interpretation of it. The song uses the same 3 chords throughout,
however the sequence does change a little between the verse/chorus. You'll see what I mean.
Chords have been placed as specifically as possible so you know what syllable to play them on - the only
place they're not so precise are the spoken parts in the later pre-choruses; these are a bit more difficult
to pinpoint.
Capo on 3rd fret, transpose +3 if you don't have a capo.
