Chords

Album : Extraordinary Machine, 2005 Submitted by: Facundo M. Quiroga ([email protected]) 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. Intro: Play the above twice -.- 1st Part:
