This is a song by John Gorka off of his "Jack's Crows" album that I would
like you to post.

I'm From New Jersey
-------------------------------------
there is one chord in here that i think is a B something, i haven't been
playing for very long so i don't know what it is, i just know that it sounds
right. when it comes up i'll indicate it w/ an asterisk (*).

* = x20032

the progeression for the main verses is this:
D * D G A
and the progression for the bridge is :
C Bm A G Bm A
and then back into the verses.
so it is something like this.
(intro)
D * D G A

as for this song, i have to give credit to my friend neil who figured it
out. then he taught it to me. this was the first song i learned how to play.
