As you can see it's essentially the same chord change throughout the whole song, except for a little
piece in the bridge, so hopefully it won't be too hard to learn.

HISTORICAL NOTES NOBODY CARES ABOUT:
An acoustic version was on the first Fancy Pants release, a two-song acoustic EP also titled The Last
Heel Turn (it's now out of print and not even mentioned on the website, perhaps because they used
the name for their recent full length). The acoustic The Last Heel Turn was released in 2001.

The same version used on The Last Heel Turn full-length (2002) was originally released on the second
Fancy Pants release, the Getting Used to Other People's Remote Controls EP (2002). The only
difference is that on the Getting Used to Other People's Remote Controls track there is a sample at
the beginning (source unknown) which goes:

KID 1: "Zack (?) I'm scared. What if we get caught?"
KID 2: "Listen, they're not gonna catch us, all right? Just shut up and act old."
KID 3: "Be cool."
KID 4: "Besides, this guy couldn't spot a fake ID if we nailed it to his forehead. (laughing)"
OWNER: "What are you trying to pull? This ID is fake, man. I can spot these things a mile away. Now
get out of here."
ADULT: "Can you believe that guy with a fake ID? Some guys just can't wait to grow up."

This sample was a bit lengthy and not too interesting, so I have to say I'm glad they took it off the
beginning of the song so you can easily get straight into it.

Graham plays (live at least) with only three strings on his guitar. However, I can't figure out how to do
any of these songs well without the four strings traditionally used for good power chords, so this is the
four-string version.
