Chords

By Jeff Lynne Chord Definition: The G7 is best played as a bar chord 3rd fret. If playng on acoustic guitar play all other chords at the root position. If playing on electric try playing all chords further up the fret board. Intro: (Synth Sounds and reverse Vocals) Guitar Bb C Bb C Bb C Bb C Verse 1:

that disappeared from sight
