no dress rehearsal,
D chordD
this is our life

You are ahead by a century, you are ahead by a century, you are ahead

you tilted my hand

no dress rehearsal, this is our life

with revenge and doubt

tonight, we smoked them out

The rhythm of this is d uuududud. Wish there were more variation in the D chords to form the signature riff. Maybe that can be finger picked?
