Band : Matchbox 20 Song : Hang Album : Yourself or Someone like you Tuning : Normal - No Capo Transcribed by: Steven Batchelder Corrected by : Don Kurelich
I'm improving on the basic transcription that SB did. It was basicaly there, but some of the chords were wrong and I'm showing a few enhancements. These are subtle changes in the basic chords and a change in strum. The chord differences are noted below and change only the tone of what's being played.

CaddGCaddG And we always say, it would be good to go away, someday,
Yeah but if there's nothin' there to make things change, CaddG if it's the same for you I'll just hang, same to you I'll always hang. CaddGCaddG Well I always say, it would be good to go away,
But if things don't work out like we think and
There's nothing there to ease this achin', but if
There's nothing there to make things change, CaddGCaddG If it's the same for you I'll just hang.
