Chords

Brett fingerpicks the song when he plays it, for the most part you should fingerpick the two notes of a chord then play the rest of the chord together, but this doesn't go for whole song so mess around with it until you find a way that sounds good to you. These should be about right, not sure if they're 100% accurate but they're pretty close. is a great song, so have fun with it! intro: Em7 D G G D Em7 D B C G D G
