Real World chords by Matchbox Twenty

*Capo 3rd Fret

Explanation:
Guitar two, playing that intro lick, is starting on the C chord then
walking down quickly to the G chord. Only one note is a pull-off.
This lick is the same as the one at the end of the verses.

**Keep in mind, guitar one is holing the C chord for the entire time
guitar two is playing the lick
