Straight Outta Time Chords by John Hiatt

Straight Outta Time chords by John Hiatt

Guitar chords with lyrics

At least one of the guitars on  the  album is in dropped-D tuning, but
the acoustic is standard tuned (I think),  so it sounds cool like that
if you're playing it by yourself. Enjoy!
Comments, corrections etc always welcome.
