Closing Time - Semisonic

This song is quite interesting to play. It starts simple, but once you get to the bridge, the octaves will make you move your fingers a lot. What is nice with that part it that the guitar player has to go back to the regular chords in between playing the lead part in octaves. The X in the chorus means that you play muted strings. Watch out for the measure of 6/4 and the repeat signs. Chords with a slash like D5/A are power chords played on the A string, but your finger bars also the E string which gives you a reverse power chord.
