COSTA RICA

album version - SKY MOTEL
____________________________________________
____________________________________________

this is my very favorite song from SKY MOTEL.
the verse sounds like COTTONMOUTH (it has the
same chord progression), but for me the best
part is the middle part ('i'm so unsettled...').
it's pretty easy to play, but there are a lot of
different guitars on the album version.
