Tuning: Standard
Chords: A D A - F#m E A
There is a second guitar, an acoustic that plays the lead. It appears as though it is
capoed on the second fret using the chords:
GCG-EDG
Pretty simple song, it just repeats over and over. There are a lot of simple little
leads, that I plan on adding later, but I usually never do. The chord changes aren't in the
exact spot, but they are close, and it's a super simple rhythm.
