 Hey OLGA<br/>

 Here's a change from Richard B, in D major :<br/>
 <br/>
 <br/>
 I think the chords are basically just A major, G and D.<br/>
 The verse being played with the first finger for the A chord and fingers<br/>
 three and four (mainly 3) being added as appropriate, G and D chords used<br/>
 in the middle and at the end of each line.<br/>
 <br/>
 e:---|---|---|---|---|<br/>
 B:---|-1-|---|---|---|<br/>
 G:---|-1-|---|---|---|<br/>
 D:---|-1-|---|(3)|(4)|<br/>
 A:---|---|---|---|---|<br/>
 E:---|---|---|---|---|<br/>
 <br/>
 The chorus being G, D and A.<br/>

 59 Yards (Boo Hewerdine)<br/>
  ------------------------<br/>
 <br/>
 This is on Boo Hewerdine's second album, Ignorance. It's played in Ab<br/>
 (capo at 1), live and on the album. All the following is written as<br/>
 though played in G (at the nut), so if you're playing with a capo at the<br/>
 first fret, remember to play all the TAB sections one fret higher than<br/>
 written here.<br/>

 Strumming in the verse is generally fast strumming of the bass strings,<br/>
 quickly damped with the palm of the right hand (there's probably one of<br/>
 those cute little italian words to describe this), except the D C at the<br/>
 end of each line which is the full chord. Have a listen to the album.<br/>

 Bend notation :<br/>
