i like this chord arrangement. its like takin all those lead notes played on top of the straight cords, and turning it into new chords that sound pretty cool. especially if ya are playin by yourself. good job. -cntyotlw | 7/18/2004 | Good job on this tab. This is actually a pretty fun song to play along with. I didn't really expect it from Clay Aiken. hehe Thanks for posting it! -debeck | 2/1/2004 |
