Only the Wild Ones — Dispatch
Chords and lyrics for Only the Wild Ones by Dispatch (key of G#).
Verse 1
Notes: This song really is all about the picking, especially the verse bit.
Make sure to listen to the
original (see yt link in description) because the rhythm gets shifted
around a lot. Don't forget there are two
different Fm octaves in the song (lower for the verse and higher for
pre-chorus/chorus).
I've also added a bonus chart at the end for the picking pattern in some
selected parts. They are far from
perfect but should be enough for you to begin with.
Have fun and happy playing!
