This is what i've worked out as the acoustic version of Marilyn & Me from the Roland Sessions and
Acoustic Vol. 1 cassette, it sounds right to me to play along acoustic. Sorry about the chords names but
again it's the simplest way to recognise them as I don't know what they are. On the chorus I think
it sounds best to sort of palm mute the chords.
Here is the acoustic version i've mainly based on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6BVcChps-4 and here is
the link for the E.P it's originally off https://makeoutvideotape.bandcamp.com/album/bossa-yeye
