This first track on Matt's album Earth is a definite ear catcher for the whole
disk. Most of the rhythm guitar work in this song is heavily palm-muted. To
get the rhythm down, I suggest listening to the song over about twenty
times (that's how I got it). Use a power chord stucture on the rhythm chords
with your finger barred to get the chord but produce a deeper sounding version.
The second guitar part is relativly understandable, and I was able to get some
down, but not all (including the solo, sorry). Enjoy the days of the eighties
again with this song (hard to believe that it was eight years ago)!

Verse
[A#]She remembers how we me[E#]t
[G]Through a friend of our[D#]s
[A#]I took her for a[E#] ride and laid her
[G]Underneath the stars[D#]
[A#]And even now it [G#]makes me laugh to th[G]ink we wanted mor[E#]e
And always tal[A#]ked about how hard it was[E#]
When real[G]ly it was so[D#]
(Chorus)
Easy It was
[A#] [G#] [C]
so easy
[A#] [G#] [C]
Verse(same as above)
And ever since this stroke of luck
I was feeling fine
Sometimes even seemed this life
Might be a friend of mine
But all these notions disappeared as soon as she was gone
It was as hard as they had always said
Somehow we were so
Chorus(same as above)
Easy
We were so easy
SOLO
(rhythm plays the same chord config. as in the verse)
We always tal[A#]ked about how har[E#]d it was
When real[G]ly it was so[D#]

Easy
We were so easy
We were so easy
We were so easy.
