Twelve master geniuses a year

Its all so shameless

Bridge

B MaCybe there was aG message in it

(I dont Emknow where you hid it)

BMaybe there was a C[P stamp] with it G

(I dont Emknow where to fit it)

BTell me what kind of Cprize can you get G

(When you Emdont want to win it)

Then back to D for a few bars.

Then once through verse and chorus, with no words, and

with distorted guitar on top.

Then back to bridge exactly as above

Then chorus 2x.

When strumming on D, there is a little riff that is

D/E/F♯/F♯/G/F♯ (notes, not chords). If you're playing

D in the second fret, you can try to pick it while

holding the chord, like this:

Try to keep the G and B strings from getting muted so

the chord continues to sound. You may find easier

places to play up the neck if you're on an electric.
