This is a bit of a work in progress but I thought I'd post what I have so far. There is no rhythm guitar
in this song, these chords follow the bass. This can be played in power chords and sounds fine but I think
it would make sense to transpose it into A and play open chords with a capo on the first fret, however if
you do this some of the chords sound 'off', suggesting that they are incorrect. I will post a revised version
of this soon but to be honest I am a little bored with it right now. Of course any ideas/corrections would
be very welcome
