Ok, first of all, Pearl Jam fans, please dont start sending me mail
saying I should have tabbed the Pearl Jam version!! This version
sounds very good, cool to hear it acoustic. About the chords, Asus2
sounds much better than A and Cadd9 is pretty good too. All this sung
and played by the whiniest man alive, Aaron Lewis. Pretty good singer
though.
Anyway, not much else to say about this, itīs easy. Heīs tuned one
note down if you wanna play with the CD. If you donīt like playing the
strange E chord in the Intro you can just use a normal E chord, sounds
just as good. Enjoy!

I'm surrounded by some kids at play
E Asus2
I can feel their laughter
E
So what do I say
CHORUS:
-------
C Em
Oooooooh and twisted thoughts that spin round my head, I'm spinnin'

Whoooh I'm spinning how quick the sun can drop away

of what was everything

All the pictures have all been washed in black
