Chords

Lyrics and Chord Below Riff 1 Played through the Verses. NOTE: G in the lyrics is the timing to switch to the second part of the riff - i.e. 3rd Fret on the E And the A signifies using the open A string for the first part of the riff. Its pretty quick and he mixes up the ending, the 0h2 is an educates guess but play around with it. Fingerpicking

Just a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill

A                                              G
My my, cold hearted child, tell me where it all fall's
