This is a very easy song to play, utilizing two guitars. The lyrics were printed from hearing the song
over and over, as it is difficult to understand some of Liam's pronounciations as his voice is getting shot over the
years. What can we say? Cigarettes & Alcohol is the culprit! And I don't mean by singing the Oasis song...
