Intro
HUNGER SONG' by THE MIDDLE EAST -- chords by Michael M. (Aeromidd)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First submission; please be constructive. I made this because I could't find the proper chords anywhere,
and this is a really underrated song by a really underrated band.
I developed these chords in G+G because it's easier to play on the mandolin (and easier for me to sing)
but should work just fine for a guitar too if you stick a capo on 2nd, if you want to play it in its
original key. Lyrics are from azlyrics.com so don't blame me if they turn out to be wrong...
Enjoy!
