Here is my attempt at this wonderful song by Grey Reverend and Bonobo. For reference, I used the live
performance with the magnificent Szjerdene on the vocals (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0rvGKaHjJU).
The lyrics are a bit different in this one, but the chords should be similar to the album version.
Pay attention to the second chorus, the chords are different there. Plus, the live version omits the outro.
You can adjust the instrumental part, the alternative lyrics and the outro to your liking, I guess. Enjoy!
Any corrections are welcome :)
