Shameful Metaphors
guitar chords lyrics
"Chevelle" - "Shameful Metaphors"
The original Tuning for the guitar is different. I tried to transpose it, so you
can play it in STANDARD TUNING.
/ means: slide into
The numbers in the "Shameful-Metaphors-part" mean, how often you have to hit the
strings. (2 = 2 hits, then next chord)
