Song: This City's a Mess
Band: Said the Whale
Album: Howe Sounds/Taking Abalonia (Will be purchasable on iTunes June 10th, already
for those of you living in Canada)
I took the time to transcribe this the best I could. I'm not too sure about the ending
it's hard for me to hear the chords being played, but I did my best. Hopefully if I'm
it'll at least give you all something to work off of to figure it out correctly.
Enjoy!
