I Woke Up In A Car by Something Corporate
I Woke Up In A Car
You will see that I have Eb5 for a chord, I believe it is an Eb chord but I'm
sure the exact progression so if you have any input on that let me know. Secondly,
is an Ab chord but that can also be played, during the verse, as Absus or Ab4, play
you feel sounds better. And the Db in parenthesis is in parenthesis because it's not
used as a full chord just as a passing tone between the other two. So play it
lightly and quickly.
