Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: scdavis01 Strum the parts marked as chords from top to bottom quickly with the thumb to get the same effect as on the recording. Isakov is obviously less strict with the playing and plays more sloppily, and beautifully, for that matter, than this tab suggests, so listen to the song if you are nitpicky. The verses and chorus are all very similar in chord structure, so listen to the song for any minor changes from the first verse to the others. Thanks.
