QUEEN OF PORTLAND STREET - Matt Mays

Tabbed by: ADalziel
This was an older matt mays song that was called G And Me that was recently re-recorded.
couldn't find any tabs for it and the lyrics people have been submitting are terrible,
this is my attempt at both.

[Em]Throw in the s[Bm]hifter 1, [C]2 and [G]3

From the d[G]onair temple to the [C]L-town [G]sand
