Why Do They Leave

I love this song and I couldnt believe it wasnt already up, so I had a go... Im sure
not 100% but it sounds good on acoustic.
Works best with a mixture of stumming and picking,
but listen to the song and play it how you like.
Any alterations, comments or suggestions welcome :)


No capo
Standard tuning EADGBe
