version 6
Notes:
This is a fairly easy song, suitable for beginners!
All chords denoted with '5' are power chords (e.g. G5, A5)
Most of the song is just G5 A5, it starts to slightly alter after the bridge
I'm not claiming this is 100% correct, in terms of both, lyrics and the chords. I did it by ear. But I think it
sounds all right, if you have any corrections, feel free to comment. Constructive criticism is always welcome.
Slide G5 to A5!
