My Youth


Pegboy- My Youth From the Album on Touch and Go/Quarterstick Records. Any questions, feel free to contact me. Hands down my favorite Pegboy song. Gable.Andrew@gmail.com Cheers! Very easy song, with only a few parts. Standard tuning (E,A,D,G,B,E) Intro: The intro is the same progression as the verse, but the barre chords are played through as arpeggios.
