Here's my attempt at "So You'd Like To Save The World" by Lloyd Cole off his "Bad Vibes" album. Lloyd wrote this wondering what it would be like to go out with Natalie Merchant. Listen to the song to get the muting and accents that Lloyd puts on individual chords (ie the muting on the G and the accents on the C in the verses) Capo at 4th - chords written like they are played at first position (ie G=B) Chords G 320033 G/B x20033 C* x32013 D xx0232 C x32010 Am7 x02010
