SICK DAY - Optimus Rhyme - School The Indie Rockers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tuning: EADGBe
This is probably one of OR's best songs (and one of my favourites), and it's
fairly easy to play, too!
This is the basic pattern, at some points in the song the instruments are silent
(eg: the cough part).
Also, Powerthighs tends to throw a few more of the same chords in when OR play this live.
Verse 1:
Main Riff:
