Song: Machine Gun Blues Band: Social Distortion Album: Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes Alright guys, back soon with another one. A pretty new song that's recently hit the radio stations from one of my favorite bands. Typical Social Distortion song. Chords, solo, and some more chords. Fifth track off of their week old album. Very easy to play and very easy to follow. Some of you (me) might have trouble with the ending lick that Mike unexpectedly rips through. **ONLY CHORDS PLAYED IN THIS SONG ARE E, G, and D. VERY EASY TO FOLLOW** [INTRO] (LEAD) e|--------------------------------------------------------------| B|--------------------------------------------------------------|
