"It's a magic song" (c) Anton Newcombe

Note: based on a version that Anton Newcombe doing in June 2013 via live stream on his DeadTV channel at 
Ustream with Lukas Wagner and Tom. But in album version of that song used same chords, so its fine. 

Note #2: for this song you extremely need capo on 1st fret. With capo it sounds really amazing and exactly how 
it planned author. Actually you can play it without capo (it will be same chords), but its a your choice.

Note #3: your play style in this song it's important thing. When you playing, you don't need hit all strings. 
Hit only E, A in up and G, B, e in down of the strings. So in your head it's going: 1-2, 1-2, 1-2, 1-2... Like 
russian play style, you know? Just listen to the song, and you get it. 

Intro (just play it for a while, then go to words):
Am, F, Am, F, Am, C, Am 
In that last Am verse are start.

Verse:

t of fun
            
She gave away 

              
her sanity and

             
 found that sh

        
e had none
             
Watch quickly

omes
            
Something that

             
 she despised,

              
 mmm-mm, you f

the center

 a sinner
