Don't Let Me Explode by The Hold Steady




                           Don't Let Me Explode





The timing is 3/4 


For it to sound perfect try:
-sliding up F to G to Bb (1 to 3 to 6) on the Low E when you make the transition from F
Bb.
-similarly sliding up F to F# to G (1-2-3) on the Low E for the F to Gm transition.

Gm      Eb                 Bb       F
  to go hang around in the upper midwest

    'cause jackie onassis said that it ain't safe for catholics yet.

    F
the frontage roads.

she wiped at her nose and she winked.
