Closing Time

By: David Harrison ([email protected])
Song: "Closing Time" by "Semisonic"
Album: "Feeling Strangely Fine" (1998)

This is a fairly basic outline of how to play the song but the song itself is
pretty simple and easy to play without having to go into much detail. I think
that's what makes it so catchy is it's simplicity... Anyway, if you have any
questions, comments, corrections, or additions feel free to e-mail me.
