Chords

Song:The Weather Artist:Built to Spill Album:Ancient Melodies of the Future This is a nice, easy song to play.There were a few parts I changed a little bit.In the chorus I added the broken chords (it sounded better when playing without the cd), and I shortened the outro because it repeated a lot.All I did was write each part once or twice instead of however many times it was on the cd.I also added the last few notes to give a little bit of finality, it kinda fades out on the cd. This song sounds best played on an acoustic and without a pick.
