Gone For Good - The Shins Cover

I hadn't heard this for a long time. It caught my attention again Thursday. The original Shins melody is played out of the Key of C. That key is way to high for me. I transposed it into the key of G and even that is stretch on this tune. It has a great melody. Great vocal timing and a very simple 1, 2 strum.

If anyone wants to try this out, I'm tuned standard G. The chords are G, C, D and the wonderful Am. It's easy to follow.

Adapted By Chapman Jones

Enjoy. I certainly enjoyed learning this tune.

Thanks guys.

In my notes I mention an Am. That is incorrect. It is an Em in my recording. The original melody uses an Am. Sorry about that.
