This is a bit of a work in progress but I thought I'd post what I have so far. There is no rhythm guitar in this song, these chords follow the bass. This can be played in power chords and sounds fine but I think it would make sense to transpose it into A and play open chords with a capo on the first fret, however if you do this some of the chords sound 'off', suggesting that they are incorrect. I will post a revised version of this soon but to be honest I am a little bored with it right now. Of course any ideas/corrections would be very welcome Intro: Bb G# D# F X3 Verse 1:

^Bb Ever see a ^G#blind man cross the ^D#road, ^Ftryin' to make the other ^Bbside ^G# ^D# ^F ^Bb Ever see a ^G#young girl growing ^D#old, ^Ftryin' to make herself a ^Bbbride^G# ^D# ^F
