Subject: CRD: I don't like mondays by the boomtown rats
All right, I have tried to find out the chords to I don't like mondays
by the Boomtown Rats. I do not claim these are the right ones, but they
come pretty close (I put the chords in the song by listening to the
tape, so there might be one or two wrong ones). The only thing is that
in the original song, it seems that all is tuned 3/4 notes lower, but
I've searched for not-to-difficult-to-play chords.
I got the text from listening to the tape, so there also might be some
slight mistakes in it.

Since the original is played on piano, chances are that you won't like
it as much on guitar, but I think it sounds reasonably well.
Richard.
