Chords
Song: "West Side Highway"
Artist: Pinhead Gunpowder
Album: West Side Highway (EP)
Released: August 19, 2008 (although it debuted at a live show earlier that year)
I tabbed what made sense to me, but 577xxx and x022xx are interchangeable positions for A; play what's
comfortable for you when it's comfortable for you.
[Verse 1] "There's a million Jews in New York, and I'm one of them..."
