comments: *a silent minority cover featuring ray cappo, singer of silent minority, which is just one of

palumbo's (glassJAw singer) former bands

*such a short song yet so much enery released in it

*this must be the easiest tab i've ever done. it's only like a minute long with 11 second

& 9 second choruses lol

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
