Uptown Girl Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Anyone who'se Irish or British probably hates this song, due to the terrible Westlife
version of it that was played endlessly on the radio a few years back. However this version
in a sort of punk-ska style, so turn up the distortion on your guitar! You can find
song easily on the net, although a lot of the files are mis-named and
say that it is done by Weezer (gotta agree, his voice sounds very
similar to Rivers Cuomo) Anyway, here's how i play it, enjoy
Standard Tuning (EBGDAE)
