Chords

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by Virage Nice one of their new album. Quite up beat with a several chord progressions. Pretty straight forward in terms of rhythm. During the arpeggiated section there's a simple pull off from the 3rd fret on the high e as you play the C but its easy enough to work out so I didn't bother tabbing it out. Cheers then, enjoy.

With your fears, because they're adding one by one

And a prayer from the soon-to-be-closing library

And if you looked from here, you would surely see

D                                           Em      G  C

And you thought about what they went through
