Chords

Awesome new song! These chords and lyrics are my own attempt at them being correct, so are just how I play the song. Suggestions and corrections welcome! The timing and strumming pattern takes a little getting used to so I'll try to illustrate how I play it to help a little. Make sure the second D is always the faster strumming section. v v v v v v ^ v ^ v <--- v=downstroke, ^=upstroke D D D D G D D D D G D G D G x3 D G D
