03:19i should have realized the word before i go out there i don't know the word before i let them
03:29know
03:29I should know
03:33Okay
03:36Then you
03:37There's a
03:38Verse goes
03:39Four
03:40Times
03:41That
03:42I want to say
03:43Then you go
03:46Which is
03:47Oh
03:47Sorry I didn't show the chords
03:48The chords are
03:50A
03:50Power chord
03:52You can do an A here
03:53I'm doing the A
03:54Five seven seven
03:55Root on the E
03:57To
03:59F
04:00One three three
04:01Root on the
04:03E
04:03To a G
04:05Three five five
04:06Root on the G
04:06Back to an A
04:14So
04:14So
04:14One two three four five six seven eight
04:16One two three four five six seven eight
04:18One two three
04:18Yeah so it's eight times
04:19On the A
04:20It's kind of sixteen times
04:22Because you're doing the A
04:23As an actual run
04:24On the first
04:25You're doing
04:26A
04:26A
04:27M
04:28G
04:30E
04:31A
04:33So you're going
04:34The A counts as the last
04:36And also the first
04:37So you're doing it sixteen times
04:39Eight times
04:40Eight times
04:40Eight times
04:41Sixteen times
04:42Because you're doing the end
04:43And the beginning
04:44On that next run through
04:45Uh
04:46Then when it comes
04:47They don't write them like that anymore
04:49That comes with a
04:51A
04:54They don't write them
04:57To a C
04:59So
05:00They don't write them like that
05:02So an F to a C
05:05So C is three five five
05:07Root on the A
05:08To a G
05:10Three five five
05:11Root on the G
05:12To a D
05:13Five seven seven
05:15Root on the A
05:17So again
05:19They don't write them like that anymore
05:25No
05:25They just don't write them like that anymore
05:34Then back into the verse
05:35Then towards the end
05:36It's
05:37They don't write
05:45You continue the G
05:47Yeah so
05:47Back
05:48Oh so after the first time you do that
05:49You do go to the
05:50Then
05:50Then
05:50Then
05:51Then
05:52Then
05:52Then
05:53Then
05:53Then
05:53Then
05:54If you listen to the song
05:55You'll know the timing
05:56And how many times you do each one
05:57But if you get all that stuff down
05:59That is pretty much the whole gist of the song
06:01So that was the breakup song
06:03By the Greg Kin band
