Outro
F#
Put all the rest in a hollow tree
G D C G D C G
Yeah fill it with cement and let me be
Note: Before those last D’s in the outro he plays the E string on the 2nd fret and
then he plays the high E string open. I like to screw around plucking the strings in a
different pattern for that last part instead of just strumming.
His still sounds a lot better and he screws with the rhythms and plucking little notes
and stuff. But you can still use this to play and sing the barest form of the song
