Shrek The Musical - I Know Its Today Chords & Tabs
by Misc Musicals
[Version Description]
The first version is pretty close to perfect, but definitely intermediate level. In this version I have simplified some of the chords to make it easier for a novice/early intermediate player to learn. So the chords are easier to play (fewer barre chords) but still sound relatively accurate.
