Sad Memory Buffalo Springfield
Tuning: Standard
To play along with the record, put a capo on the first fret. All frets
are relative. For instance, where it says "9," that means the ninth
fret from the capo (which is actually the 10th fret on the guitar).
NOTE: There are two different Amaj7 chords used here. The one played
in the 9th fret is used one time only in the intro.
