Into Temptation
(N. Finn)

—— the reason the acoustic guitar part on the verses in this song is so
wonderful is because Neil limits the number of strings he plays to only
a few.  since this is so key, i've included *all* the chords for the
verses at the end.  take special note to which strings should not be
played at all (X).

a muddle of nervous words
