Ash - Sometimes (From The Album: Free All Angels, 2001)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great song by Ash, not difficult too play.
There are some racecar sounds mixed in the chorus, pretty weird but sounds
cool.
This song uses 3 guitars at times.

Can't sleep in the city, you're far away
Cigarettes keep you skinny
And your mind off the rain
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Feelings are distant, I know guilt by name
It was the hardest thing, watching you slip away
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes it happens, feelings die
 E5              D5                      A5
Whole years are lost in the blink of an eye
 E5             D5             E5
We once had it all but events conspired
     D5           A5
