Ignore this section of the chords, and instead play as follows: spoken part: C (with capo):(A) [electric spoon solo]: C Am F G....[repeat]---> C7 (capo): (A)(F#m)(D)(E)...[repeat]---> A7 ***"nc" indicates no chord is to be played. ****Capo chords have really only been included here if you want to make the Eb section easier.
I wonder exactly how you would prepare a breast for geckfast?
