The Middle by Jimmy Eat World
Tab by Jay Bartholomew
Play the Intro riff for all the verses. I put chords in the verse
just to show when the key changes occur in the Intro riff. You can
also just play the chords muted in the verse and it`ll sound okay.
For the exact playing, use the tab though. Try pressing down on the
actual metal fret bar for a good mute sound.
