Comments are welcome. Criticism is encouraged. Hate mail accepted.
Love letters wanted. anyway here is the way I hear the song. It may
be wrong. I didn't say it was right. But let it go for the records that
this is an excellent song and I wouldn't be going on in life right now
if it wasn't. So anyway. tell me what ya think. Goodnight
I'm looking for soul coughing tab.
