Chords

In essence not such a difficult song, but listen to the record to get the guitar rhythm and timing right. I made this partly by watching/listening a live radio performance easier to figure out but also making it a little different. This version might also help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jADQ91fKRPQ&NR=1 Its gypsy punk so he plays whatever he thinks fits in, like changing (low) E and (higher) E7. I found it quite useful when trying to get this song down. Listen to the song for the changes and everything, hope it helps! Am x0221x F (barre) 133211 G (barre) 3355433 E 022100 E7 x76780

Last time I saw you was in the middle
