I Woke Up in a Car — Something Corporate
Chords and lyrics for I Woke Up in a Car by Something Corporate (key of G#m).
Verse 1
This is my first tab, but I'll try and make it as good as possible. A few
notes before
begin. You will see that I have Eb5 for a chord, I believe it is an Eb
chord but I'm
sure the exact progression so if you have any input on that let me know.
Secondly,
is an Ab chord but that can also be played, during the verse, as Absus or
Ab4, play
you feel sounds better. And the Db in parenthesis is in parenthesis because
it's not
used as a full chord just as a passing tone between the other two. So play
it
lightly and quickly.
