This song isn't too hard to play, but it sounD pretty impressive once
you've got it down. I sort of learned to play the guitar on this song.
I've written the chorD down according to the way Amy & Emily play the
song, as best as I can figure out from watching TV and stuff. If you're
not quite up to playing D11's or four-fingered C's yet, you can play the
between it and D11 (554030) is really easy. On the full-measure C chorD, hammer-on and pull-off with your middle
finger on the D string, so that the chord alternates between C and C(9).

To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
D11 D11 C C
And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board

Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before, and I went in seeking clarity
