So try it out both ways and pick your fave! Also the Unplugged version might be different from the Hotter Than Hell version so if it is you’ll have to adjust timing, etc... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CHORDS USED IN COMIN’ HOME: G C D Cadd9 F#m Em -3----|-0----|-2----|-3----|------|-0----| -3----|-1----|-3----|-3----|------|-0----| -0----|-0----|-2----|-0----|------|-0----| -0----|-2----|-0----|-2----|-4----|-2----| -2----|-3----|------|-3----|-4----|-2----| -3----|------|------|------|-2----|------| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Send any corrections/improvements to Senevirm@datatek.com Later! ’
