All This Useless Beauty
Lush
People,
Someone was asking for b-sides, so I tried figuring out the chords
for this song. As usual, I'm a little iffy concerning some of the
chords, so I'd appreciate any constructive corrections. I'm also
unsure about some of the chords' names, so if you can enlighten me,
go for it.
Let me know how it sounds. I can't seem to be objective with my
own work.
