He Wasn't by Avril Lavigne
He Wasn't
Standard tuning (EADGBE)
Intro and Verse:
(kinda weird. what you do is hold a 3 finger D power chord on the A string. take off
ring finger and play the first note (which should end up being a G power chord), then add
ring finger and play the rest of the notes. listen to the song and you'll understand.)
