Mad World - Gary Jules
I know that this was done a few times by some other
people, but I wanted a version that you could incorporate
the bass notes easily so it sounds excellent and still
is decently easy to play, so I dropped it down to C. Although
I know he does it in a different key.
Enjoy Guys

Children waiting for the day they feel good

The dreams in which I'm dying
