---The End---
Notes:
-In the interest of time, I just put the chord progressions at the top of lines when
they repeated a previous pattern.
-I usually just play power chords without the low E string to make it sound a little
higher and funkier.
-When playing the “F – Bb” progression, I usually F – Bb – Bb9 by playing the 8th fret
on the high e string with my pinky after strumming the Bb tonic chord for a few bars.
It’s just something to add on to make it sound more interesting.
-The song just kind of trails off at the end. I didn’t catch all of the words perfectly.
