Artist: Jimmy Eat World
Album: Clarity
Song: A Sunday
This is one of the best songs by J.E.W., even though all of their songs are excellent.
FYI- The song is in D tuning. In RIFF B, the first version is the album version, the second
is the way I like to play it. Pick one, both sound good. Have fun. The Jimmys rock!
