CAPO 2

There are two guitars.. one strumming chords, the other strums
then picks some notes out of the chord. The C chord has some Cadd9
flourishes... (The solo might not by in octaves but since I can't
afford all those cool effects this gets me close...)

a[Em]re you th[C]e plane
[Em]that [D]shapes the b[C]oard
[Em]part [D/F#]of [G]a [D5] [C] history
[Em] [D]smoothed and[C] worn

[Em] [D]to look [C]inside
