Chords

Kudos to Bhammertime - I leaned on much of their tab. x = strum muted strings \ = Slide down (in outro) I use Power Chords throughout the thing. [Verse 1]

Well I can't kiss you anymore

I could put my trust in giving up the heart

Db \\ Ab \\ Bbm xx Ab xx Gb If you play acoustic and prefer full chords, you could make things easier by sticking a capo on VI (and transpose -6, of course). The basic trick is making the key your "G". So, put the capo on "Key Fret on the E-String" - 3 9 - 3 = 6 here.
