BLUE IN THE FACE by Alkaline Trio  Album: Good Mourning (2003)
A nice relaxing acoustic song to calm you down. It has great lyrics as well as a cool kind of loping feel. It was really hard to get the exact number of strokes for each chord, I did my best but I know the rhythm is not quite right. The chords are all good, but the rhythm was a bitch. Just get the chords right and them just make your own rhythm. It looks as if I did.
