This is a simplified version that just gives the basic chord changes so that one can
play it through from start to finish. You’ll probably need to have a listen to get the
rhythm right. There’s some lead guitar between the verses that I have not included here 
but it sounds like it’s just a matter of messing about in the Eminor blues scale. Enjoy!
Only Changing Drugs
I had my stomaGch pumped two times my senior year
Which eCarned the approbation of all my plastered peers
