O.A.R.- Of A Revolution - "Short a Try"
This is an song that is officially unreleased, but on the Any Time Now
live CD. It's on Disc 1, after "Delicate Few" on track 9. Listen to it
to get the strumming pattern down.
Chords used:
A C#m Bm D A
e|------5-------4--------2------2-----------|
B|------5-------5--------3------3-------2---|
G|------6-------6--------4------2-------2---|
D|------7-------6--------4--------------2---|

Notes:
- Use barre A for the verses, open A for the chorus.
- For the last D in the chorus ("I'm locked up..."), strum it once and let it ring.
- Change back to barre chords beginning with the A immediately after the chorus (on "try").
- For verse 3, use open chords, except the last A/C#m/Bm sequence.
- Again, listen to the song to hear how Marc plays it.
