Topic: I USED TO BE COOL
Driving home from work one night, thinking about the 'early days' and remembered something my daughter said to me once about how I used to be cool, but I'll never be cool again,.......hahahahaha..........and this song happened.
IMPORTANT: F F# & G on the bridge are bar chords that just slide up from F to G......THEN....……[4/3 3/2 2/1SLIDE4/3]…..is just the walk down from g to f on the E & G strings with a slide right back up to the G position...in other words,...4/3 is the fourth fret on the G string and the third fret on the E string.....keep that position and it will all work out for this part......goes to the C chord.
……[4/3 3/2 2/1 ..but I used to be...SLIDE........cool4/3]…..
