Chords

This is based off how Damien plays the song live in the Michelberger Lobby 2014 version According to Damien during the performance, this is the original version, written before the piano version. It's so beautiful and very, very simple. I cut out on the improv towards the end of the performance as it would take too long to tab, but you can play along to the original nicely. Not too sure on chord names but oh well! This is my first tab so I'm open to criticism. Chords: E A D G B E Am 5 7 7 5 5 0 F 1 3 3 2 1 0 C 3 3 2 0 1 0 Em7 3 5 5 4 3 0 (You can play the B string open on the Am if you want, doing this at the beginning of each new verse makes it sound more like the original.)
