Theme from M*A*S*H (Suicide is Painless)// Manic Street Preachers
Fantastic cover, I absolutely love playing this song. Since there wasn't a (correct/complete)
version online already, here is the chords + riffs for how I play it.
It sounds great using open chords on a acoustic / clean or with power chords distorted.
Please rate if you can!
