I saw STP perform this song on Leno the other night so it's quite accurate. Sour Girl Chords: G2? {xx5435} F2? {xx7565} F {133211} G {355433} Bb2 {688766} Bb {x1333x} C {8,10,10,9,8,8} D {10,12,12,11,10,10} I'm getting a headache...

The first chorus is the close to actual chords Dean Deleo uses. I think he changes up the order, so feel free to interchange the chord shapes how you like. The second chorus is an easier version. It's what I played before I saw them perform it on Leno. Sorry, no rhythm is implied here. Use your imagination.
