Chords

from the album Third/Sister Lovers (1978) Considering this is one of the more guitar-heavy tracks from the record, I was quite surprised to find chords/tabs hadn't been submitted for it yet. As with much of Third/Sister Lovers, there is a lot of noodling that deviates from this very skeletal chord progression, so make your own way through it. This is a fun, simple song that sounds awesome with plenty of distortion and loud drums. Standard tuning (E-A-D-G-B-E) Intro: A-D (x4)
