  To make a move, but we just talk about
E|--------------------------|                                     
B|--------------------------|                                     
G|------------------------4-|

A|---6---6---6---6--2---2---|                                     
E|-4-------4----------------|                                     

The people we\'ve met in the last five years

 You quit this winter past
