Special Ed chords by Stephen Lynch

Chords with lyrics

Here's another Lynch tab to add, "Special". This is from Lynch's first
album. The live version that came out prior to the album was called
Special Fred, with, as you can imagine, all the "Ed"'s being "Fred"'s.
Other than that the songs are almost identical. As always, listen to the
song to get the timing down and let me know if you have any questions.
