Song: Only God Knows Why
Artist: Kid Rock
Album: Devil W/O a Cause
Transcribed by: Bert Rodriguez
After searching around on the net 1/2 an hour for the solo, I gave up and
decided to figure out myself and submit it to make it easier for all you
other bastards.
The only difference with my version is I play the chords with the bottom
two strings open. It makes it easier to play and sounds a lot nicer, too.
*Check out the bottom to see what I'm talking about.*
