What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World
Track 8
I think this is pretty accurate, but feel free to correct me!
You play the intro for the whole song and the ending.
This is the main part, and you can strum a bit when you aren't playing
these notes. Just use your thumb and your pointer finger to hit the
high e and the low e.
You can use the opening as a key for the whole song, but when I sing to
it, I like to use what I typed out along with the lyrics.
