And when I have some words
This is the way I'll sing
To a distortion box
To make the music sing
then, I'm gonna have to write a chorus
Gonna need to have a chorus
And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm
blue in the face, yeah, were gonna need to have a chorus, gonna have
to write a chorus, and this seems to be as good as any other place
to sing it till I'm blue in the face.
Happy with what you have to be happy with to be happy with what you
have you have to be happy with what you have, happy with what you have
to be happy with you have to be happy with what you have, to be happy
with what you have, you have to be happy with what you have to be happy

*I had to modify my guitar with both heavier and lighter string gauges
to counter the tuning accordingly.
For example --- string gauges from HI to LOW are:
1st string/G = 0.008 gauge string
2nd string/E = 0.010 gauge string
3rd string/A = 0.016 gauge string
4th string/D = 0.024 gauge string
5th string/G = 0.042 gauge string
6th string/C = 0.052 gauge string
