Overkill Chords

   
I've played this over & over again with the recorded song.
It's Dead On !
I use some variations of the chords listed, but this will give you the general
chords in the song, and you can go from there.
Remember, "Bar Chords" are not always the best selection of a chord
on an Acoustic Guitar (Try Variations.)   I hope this helps some people, that's all I'm trying to do.
