Half A Man chords by Stephen Lynch

Chords with lyrics

Here's a Lynch song from his first ablum "A Little Bit Special". This
one is pretty straight forward. I watched him play it on his Comedy
Central Presents special and took note. Sometimes he picks out some of
the chords. You can hear where he does it in the song. I just wrote them
all as chrods. As always, listen to the song to get the timing down and
let me know if you have any questions.
