Tough Goodbye Gary Allan
Gary Allan "Tough Goodbye"
The inversion chords on this song should be played with only a few notes, and are designed to be
electric guitar chords, but they will sound fine on your flat top. If the
fingering is too challenging,
simplify by not playing one or more strings. Have fun!
