version 3
Tuning: EADGBe Lo to Hi
This is a really simple song, but the it has catchy hooks and chord progressions
There are piano parts that I arranged for guitar, and also a cool guitar riff
near the end of the song. This is the best Semisonic tab out there for closing
time!!! It is complete with everything you need to know on how to play the song.
All I can say is listen to the song so that you know whats goin on!
ROCK ON!!
