Iris Chords

Goo Goo Dolls – Iris

Music by John Rzeznik

Tab by Chan

Tuning: Double Drop D (DADGBd)

Tune E to D
     E to D

I’m pretty tired of dropping down to BDDDDD to play this song, so I thought I’d tab it 
in an easier to get to tuning… with no popping strings (and if you DO pop one… that’s 
sad).

I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am

*…YOU figure out the solo…*

Make up a fun little ending.

By the way, don’t leave me half-assed ratings with comments that go, “Oh em ef gee!! 
is wr0ng!!1one!” …especially if you don’t know what the hell an augmented third is; because if
you don’t, I recommend you go read a book instead of making music.
