View Guitar Chords for Oldman - chords ver. 1
Once again, bla bla bla awesome song, bla bla bla I play this in CGCGCC with power chords. I suggest you do the same, 'cause some JBT songs are good in standard... but others are truly better in open C. If this seems a bit easy and lacking, I suggest you have a look at the tab that Largebehind put up here on UG. It's pretty much spot on. NOTE: the song is apparently played with a capo on 4th, so the scales are E minor and B minor with the same chords as below, but I like it without (lower pitch, deeper sound).
