Album: Extraordinary Machine, 2005
The song is played with a piano, so don't expect much, and try to play with
the chords to make it sound right.
The A-E5-D5 in the 1st part could be something like this:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---6------------|or
e|------------------| B|------------------| G|------------------| D|----6-------------| A|---7---77-5-------| E|-5---5------------|
which sounds better than playing just plain chords.
