Straight To Hell

• D

I have no idea what this song is about but it has always been a favorite of mine. There is no rhythm
guitar on the track but I think these chords work quite well. Have a play with it and let me know what
you think Lyrics may be a bit off (or maybe they're just to deep for me to understand!)
