The bridges that I walk across are weak. Frustrations fill the void that I can’t solely bear.
And I have turned away and searched for answers I can’t understand...
I missed this one, I was off-line for a few days......nice one!!!
An old favourite.........any chance of you posting the rhythm guitar chords???

"Sometimes the beauty of music can help us all find strength to deal with all the curves life can throw us." (D. Hodge.)
If I never heard this song before, which I heard only once, could I still learn to play it if once if I strummed the first few notes I would pick up the rythm?
I guess what Im asking is if I just breezed through the tabs would It sound anything like how the song actually sounds even if I've never heard it?
