It was as clear as on day one

The lyrics and solo,intro and instrumental is all from kkelly9
My change was that the whole song is based upon overdrive so you don't have to keep switching tones,plus in
the actual song you play power chords instead of normal chords unless playing acoustic guitar.
HERES THE CHORDS THAT YOU USE IF YOU DON'T KNOW POWER CHORDS
