Chords with lyrics
Once I got started here I realized that theres a whole lot of repition in this song as
far as the guitar part goes.
The same chord progression is played through the intro, choruses, rap section, and ending.
Where it does change, I did by very best to be accurate, but remember, this is my first time.
This song is good if you just want a fun song to sing along to.
You're never too old for Veggie Tales!
