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 simple chords, the timing in parts is slightly strange changing from off beat to 'on' beat,
ending is very ad lib but I'm pretty sure it's just G Am the same as the chorus (but I could be wrong)
also the lyrics are hard to hear clearly towards the end and I don't think the line 'you're going after
crime' is actually what he sings (any ideas? answers on a postcard to..)
Feel free to comment and rate.
