Chords
------------------------------------------------------
from the B side of the 1998 single The Everlasting
Tab by James Glover (Sebadonut)
For the Intro and Verses I opt to play the electric organ lead riff which I have tabbed for guitar below.
If you would rather just play the chords I recommend playing them like this:
Em 022400
C 332010
