Artist: Shinedown Song : If You Only Knew Album : The Sound of Madness There were nothing but chord tabs of this song on here and I wanted a more accurate version to play so I watched youtube videos of them playing acoustic and I am pretty sure this is how Shinedown plays it. Please rate/ comment! TUNING: Standard Intro/ Verse 1: (Play once before singing for the acoustic version) "If you only knew I'm hanging by a thread..."
