pretty good year

note: any piano music, not to mention tori music specifically, does not

translate into guitar music very well. in fact, trying to do this with

any of tori's stuff is akin to some sort of blasphemy. take this for what

it is worth. all the chords are sketchy at best due to tori's often unique

chord choices... these chords are not on absolute pitch, but the relative

pitch should be fairly good.

try picking the chords, it sounds much better than simple chords.
