Now, I have looked everywhere and could not find chords on this song, and i'm completely
obsessed with it.
Is that a bit shameful? maybe, but I don't care. Anyways I ended up doing this song by
ear and just wanted to put it up so no one else has to go through that experience, haha.
For feedback or requests just email me at paulwainwright411@gmail.com
