Stupidity Tries

– the arrangement on the recording is huge , so the instrumental parts ( while not ’wrong’ )
a lot to the imagination

– chord names in parentheses are passing chords which are really short in duration . the
in the chorus just follows the melody , so the bass note is likely all you need .

the somewhat complicated chords :

E – – 4 – – – – 2 – – – – 2 – – |
B – – 2 – – – – 2 – – – – 2 – – |
G – – 2 – – – – 3 – – – – 2 – – |
D – – 2 – – – – 2 – – – – 4 – – |
A – – x – – – – x – – – – 2 – – |
E – – 0 – – – – 0 – – – – – – – |
