THE ACT WE ACT by SUGAR
This is a pretty simple song from a rhythm point of view. I haven't
included any of the leads because I don't know them.
INTRO:

E--0h1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1|
Play 8 times.

Palm mute heavily For F5, and gradually ease it off through the riff.

I think that on the album, these are played as E-shape barre chords

position chords to go easy on my left hand.
