SONG: If I Were You (2:43)
BAND: Killjoys
ALBUM: Starry [debut], 1994 Warner Music Canada Ltd.
-----------------------------------------------------
While waiting for someone to post some Killjoys stuff I went through
the disc to see if I could attempt a .CRD of one of their songs.
This is the easiest for me because there's an acoustic guitar
on the track and I play an acoustic. :) I guess the electric
plays the same chords. Near the end the electric strays from the
chords but I guess anyone can figure that out themselves if needed.
