===== The Kooks — Sofa Song Acoustic =====
==========================================
Acoustic version of this song is a little bit like the original but there are quite a
major changes with the chords, and ive included the acoustic solo and bridge which Hugh
on lead.
Important note: Playing the G#7sus4 chord, on the third strum you need to bend the 7th
on the 'E' string and release, you will see what i mean if you watch the video, it is
like this practically all the way through.
