Passenger Chords

(ver. 1)
Iggy Pop
          ‘The Passenger’ By Iggy and The Stooges

A great one for gigs its a real crowd pleaser and my first bit of sheet music it may be
beats of four but the  rhythm is down up down then take your fingers off and play it
stringed and then change onto next chord. I warn you this song goes on for eight 
Play it loud and with a bit of distortion. It’s mainly Am F C G and then Am F C E but it
play one of the chord changes twice to fit the verse. I put alot of time and effort into 
so please rate with a high mark.
Here are the chords in tab form if you need them.

And all of it is yours and mine
