Needle in the Hay Elliott Smith
This is a really cool song I think by Elliot Smith originally, but covered also by a band called "Bad
whose
front man is/was the singer from "Lagwagon"...both bands should be checked out.
I haven't bothered to check up the exact chord names..and in certain places he uses bar chords i
this is it!
