I wanted an accurate chord version transcription of Stinkfist I could play on an acoustic guitar and all the
existing versions are riddled with many mistakes; therefore, I  tried my hand at it myself.
You can play this either in standard tuning (as I usually do) or you can use drop D to have lower
register reach in the guitar tone.
 
Notes:
- For extra accuracy, at the end of lines 1 and 2 of the chorus you can transition into the next line
  by playing the single open E string and hammering-on the 1st fret (F) before playing the next E chord.
  You can do the same at the end of lines 1, 2 and 3 of the Coda.
- You can end the song with a Dsus2, for a more suspended feeling, or resolve with a final Em.
- The [Instrumental 2] section is simplified with respect to the original, but it works for a single guitar
acoustic rendition, playing with the dynamics and slowly building up to the Bridge

Something kinda sad about

The way that things have come to be

Desensitized to everything

Asus2                                Cadd9 Dsus2 Bsus2
     How can this mean anything to me
