Chords

Hi There! This is such a lovely song by Blue October and it's quite easy to play, even for beginners. I did this so the lyrics and tabs are there together so you know what part is played where, which imo, makes it much easier to play and sing along:) Listen to the song to get the rhythm down for the picking. It sounds great:) *This plays right along to the studio track from the CD. The live versions may be slightly different* ************Have Fun and RATE:)********** Thanks! W/Capo on 2 Intro-
