Go On Yourself - Aaron Wright
from the album: Behold The Pale Horse
If you put a capo on fret 2 and play it all 2 semitones down it's easier to
do open chords but the intonation's so terrible on my guitar i have to play
barre chords. The auto transcribe at the top right should do it for you. If i've
made any lyric errors please comment
