Hey everyone! Finally got around to doing Metal Fatigue. This is a pretty straight forward song with a few twists in it. If anything, it helps re-enforce Allan's triadic style, which is present in his earlier material. Songs like Things You See, Three Sheets to the Wind and Un-Merry Go Round share similar voicings. Some of the stretches can be really tricky, so you might have to modify where you can.

Most of this song consists of regular major/minor triads so if you can handle the Verse, you should find the rest of the song pretty easy.

Some of you also might take some issue with some of the chord names. I figured I would add I did not take the bass note into consideration and only focus on the chords. I also tried to give the chord the most straightforward name I can, even if functionally it might not be correct.

Also, let me know what other songs you would like to see! For those that do not know, I have written a book that lists and arranges chords used by Allan that you can pick up here for $10. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CRH9QTF. Thanks again everyone!
