The reason I wrote the chords for this song (My first tab ever) is because I can't even the lyrics on the internet. If anyone else knows this song and the lyrics please email me at [email protected] any corrections. Trying to find these lyrics was like writing a history report on presidential assassinations.
I play this on acoustic to woo the political science ladies. --------------------------------------------------------------
