somebody i used to know
Standard E tuning with a capo on the 1st fret
This song is tricky to play,fingerpicked
all the way throughout.Here are the
main chords to the song, the little
solos are pretty easy to figure out.
Listen to the intro for hammer-ons
and such. If anyone wants to add the
words be my guest!
