Immaculate Fools - Dumb Poet Chords

Dumb Poet		-	 by Immaculate Fools


Good song, arguably one of the easiest on the whole ‘Dumb Poet’ album to tab. Easy for a
guitar player, in that it helps teach moving from one chord to another especially on
Chorus, instead of those drab CD guitar lessons that have you playing one chord for 80 
and calling that progress. As always, improvements are always welcome! ENJOY!
