Hello, and welcome to the first chords of this song, I believe, on the internet... which I find surprising,
because this is such a great song by Jefferson Airplane. I have tried getting these chords down to the best of
my ability, and hopefully somebody could find use of these chords, and turn it into something better, like a
full tab, or a Tab Pro (That would be sick!). I sure hope you enjoy these chords.
