Into Temptation — Crowded House
Chords and lyrics for Into Temptation by Crowded House (key of Am).
Verse 1
The reason the acoustic guitar part on the verses in this song is so
wonderful is because Neil limits the number of strings he plays to only
a few. since this is so key, i've included *all* the chords for the
verses at the end. take special note to which strings should not be
played at all (X).
