Here is Too Bad, So Sad by Metric, as written for solo
acoustic guitar.
As you might imagine, solo acoustic is a major
deviation from the synthpop sound that is employed by
Metric nowadays. So I've had to make some changes to
the chords for it to sound good.
Gm: 35533x
Bb: 11333x
Dm/A: x0023x
Cadd9: x3203x
