xBOUNCING BOMB - TWISTED WHEEL
This is a very simple song but deserved to be up here as i think it's their best one. I
out a video of Jonny at Glasto so i think it's 100% correct.
When changing from G to Em, there is a transition chord which you strum just once so it goes:
G * Em

But no one really cared

They just sit back and stare
