This has always been one of my favorite BNL songs. It's much different than
anything else they've put out, in my opinion.
Unlike any other BNL song, this one is in Eb tuning (tuned down a half step to D#
G# C# F# A# D#). You MUST use this tuning, otherwise the song will sound nothing like it should.
No capo
