This is the exact way Matt plays. Play the main riff once for every line of verse, then
the outro at the end. Pretty simple. Remember to tune a half step down. The
may not be 100%, but is extremely close; just listen to the song. E-mail
or aim q67 with comments, questions, etc. Please rate and comment. Thank you.

Saw you standing there holding my heart
Too many drinks pulled the words apart
But I got your name remembered it dumbfounded I'm dumb as shit
I'm just glad that I went to the city that day
Saw you standing there all alone
For some reason you were holding two coats
I asked you 'do you need a hand?'Ya said 'No thanks, I've got other plans'
I'm just glad that I went to the city that day
And I saw him wake up on the sidewalk
His next drink was the topic of talk
He said 'give me something quick and sweet my whole life I've lived on the street'
I'm just glad that I went
to the city that day
to the city that day
to the city that day
to the city that day
