Chords

Hi there! What a lovely part 2:) Just a few changes lyrically and chord wise through- out. The intro timing is tough! The (...) represent the beats per chord (not necessarily the strums per chord. But I do strum it to the beat.) Adding the ... makes the chord changes easier that way. Let me know what you think:) Have fun!!! Oh yeah, here's the youtube link- [Intro] G....Em7....Cadd9....G....D..D D D [Verse]
