Chords

Note: This short intro section is played on bass in the recording, however you may also use the top two strings of your guitar. It should also be noted that the piano in the recording uses a particular inversion of the Bb that sounds slightly jarring when played on guitar. Being that it only acts as a sort of turnaround, you may omit the Bb when playing if you wish.
