Chords

Parts: Rhythmics, Lead Note: In the recording there are orchestral strings (violins, violas, cellos, etc.) which can be mistaken for lead guitar. I left those out purposely, but may return and edit them in. ~~~~~~~ ~~KEY~~ ~~~~~~~ / = slide up to fret __ . = strum with palm mute x = either mute it or don't strum ~ = hold out the chord ~~Intro

        I'm holding on to things I shouldn't. It's time to let them go...
