Chord/Tab song: George Washington

This is a great song, from Hope of the State's first album.

The timing is a bit off, but its quite easy to pick up if you listen to the song.

A reasonable starting strumming pattern for the chord sections is D D D U
(DDown, UUp)

Many thanks to the person who produced ver 1 ([email protected])
