Houndmouth - From the Hills Below the City
1. On the Road
177 bpm
4/4
-------------------------------------------
Note: I've noticed in the live versions,
Matt plays a G7, but it's hard to hear.
I think he barely grazes the F note while
playing. Same thing with the Fmaj7, I
think he just grazes the E note. If you
find this difficult, I would recommend just
playing a G and F, no one will notice.
(except Matt)
