Notes for "who's gonna start the sunshine"
I tried to make up chords out of the harmonies, but I'm not
getting it and I'm tired. Why hasn't someone already done this for me?
Sometimes you want to just play a song and there's no tab out there...
Maybe they're playing this live? I can hear the high b.
Aadd9=XX7657 B=XX4447 D6=XX7777 C#=XX666X
or just play power chords.
