Chords

Short Skirt, Long Jacket - Cake (Comfort Eagle, 2001) NOTE: The actual song doesn't really have much in the way of chords, it's almost all riffs on guitar and bass. This arrangement is an approximation, for a solo guitarist to play rhythm. It's also the only one (so far) with lyrics. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Intro] | D | D F G A | x2 [Verse 1]
