Is It Really chords by The Smiths

Is It Really So Strange?
	(Morrissey/Marr)


This is a pretty standard Smiths song.  Of course Marr improvises a lot by
playing the E chord on the fourth fret while he has another guitar playing an
open E chord.  A note:  When playing the E chord during the verses, to get
that one note drone, make sure you play the note G on the lower E string and
bend it (with your pinky) to give it that bluesy flavour.
