Here's a fun one for you to play around with. One of those songs
everyone loves but will never admit it.

[Verse] is: G/A/D/G G/A/D/G G/A/Bm/A

I'm not really sure of the chorus. It may be because I'm playing the
verse in the wrong key because I have the chords wrong for the chorus.
For the chorus, you can get away with E/G#/A

I'd say the whole thing could use some work, so feel free to chip in.

And while I'm at it, I'd love to trade SUPERCHUNK tab with anyone.
