Chords

I used basic chord names for the majority of the song. You can play fifths (power chords) or open chords, whatever mood you're in. I specified fifths for the turnaround because it's just easier to play. Think '12 bar blues' and have fun. [Intro] D G D A G D5 D5 C5 C5 B5 B5 Bb5 Bb5 A A [Verse 1]
