Drake Bell
Big Shot Chords
This is definitely not 100% accurate but it should help and this is really how I
play the song just by myself on guitar if I'm not playing along with the song but
I'll update the tab once a studio version is released for a more accurate tab!
Links to where the song was learnt from:
1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfFHv7CplXc
2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SalqwHJwg6c&feature=related
If you see a G7 in the chorus then that can be played as an F (on lower strings) as seen in the
first link when Drake plays guitar in the chorus.
Corrections would be really helpful and appreciated!
