The other chords listed in the lyrics aboveare correct, but they are useful as a key guide only, or perhaps anacoustic version...Comments, corrections, death threats, compliments, etc. can be E-mailedto me at:voodoo@mill2.millcomm.com*CorrectionsHello this is Ian Smistad from Calgary Alberta Canada .I noticed that there wassomething wrong with the solo from "New Years Day" so I decided to fix It.The first part is OK except for one little thinge--19-15-17-11-14-9-12-6------- A------------------------------ G------------------------------ D------------------------------ B------------------------------ E------------------------------The second part sounded WAY off when I tried to play along to the song. You couldeither put the capo on the 4th fret (and figure out the rest of the chords) orjust do in the hard way.B------9--6--11--4--6-----9-6-14-14-13/9-14-13-13/6-14-13-13-14-16-13 E--4--9--------------4-6-9-------------------------------------------As for the rest it looks pretty good from here!Please mail me with any comments or suggestions.
