Chords

Chords for Hozier's 'Blood' as seen here: This is my first tab so I thought I'd just outline the chords used. Most of the song is fingerpicked/plucked and is quite simple to gauge from the video/audio. The only real complication in this song is the 'on and offs' with the intro meleody that is repeated throughout (A - E A - E F#m - G#m A) but that shouldn't be too difficult after a few attempts and honestly, is tonnes of fun. Hopefully it's up to the standard for most, as I said, this is my first post. I just thought it was a beautiful unreleased track by an incredible man and worthwhile writing up/sharing the song/chords. Best Regards, Elijah Solomon Olig Enjoy.
