#note: any piano music, not to mention tori music specifically, does not
#translate into guitar music very well. in fact, trying to do this with
#any of tori's stuff is akin to some sort of blasphemy. take this for what
#it is worth. all the chords are sketchy at best due to tori's often unique
#chord choices... these chords are not on absolute pitch, but the relative
#pitch should be fairly good.
#
#try picking the chords, it sounds much better than simple chords.
