BEEN DOWN - Blue October

This is how I play the song on acoustic guitar. It can be a challenge in the G F G
Am part - the G's are played really quickly (it follows the violin on the song.)
You can leave them out for simple strumming. Anything in parenthesis can be left
out for the sake of simplicity.
