Straight — Veruca Salt
Chords and lyrics for Straight by Veruca Salt (key of G).
Verse 1
Notes:
It's a tricky one to get the chord timings right for cause it's mostly
riffs, but this should get you close
enough. Certainly easier to play along to than the tab version - but to get
an idea of what you're
supposed to be playing you'll need a look at that, too!
