Subject: CRD: I Can't Drive 55
Sad to say, but there is NO Sammy Hagar at OLGA. So here's a quick and
dirty version of one of his tunes someone requested a while back to get us
started! I just saw Van Halen, and these were the chords he played at the
concert. This is, however, still in need of a lot of work. I don't have
the album (dating myself!), but I've heard the song enough time to be pretty
sure most of this is right.
