'Echoes Myron' by Guided by Voices
from the album 'Bee Thousand'
The guitars are tuned a little sharp on this one, but not enough
to use a capo. Twist your pegs up until that opening G
sounds right.
This is how my aged ears heard the song, but I'm not totally
confident about the chords at the end...sometimes its hard to
hear through that lo-fi production...corrections are welcomed.
