Catchy little song from Bayside's Anthony Raneri from the I Surrender record's' "Our
Voices" EP.
This is a pretty basic version, but sounds just fine when playing on an acoustic.
I play it in half-step down - but you could probably play this in standard too.
It's not as light as the studio version, but without the synth etc - i think this is a
pretty god 'open mic' version.
