Live The Life

Obviously this song is tuned down 1/2 step and also played on piano. Here is
my version for guitar not that far off from another version I've seen by Joe
T. The main difference is some alterations to the chords and the names. One
thing I want to stress is the second chord of the song. It is written as C/G
which means you play a regular C but add the G bass note. It really sounds
weak going to the Ab bar chord without it. Also, when you sing this, you
must start & stay singing on the C note for roughly the first three chords.
If you can't sing at least try this part. You'll be glad you did. "Enjoy" If
you like this, email me klabs@nh.ultranet.com I have a couple others
designed to be played on guitar.
