Chords

Jack's Mannequin // People Running (Bb Major) Just a few quick notes! You'll find that the chords don't always match with a vocal syllable - play the song and you'll know what I mean. Second, I'm not entirely sure about the progression for the last two lines of the chorus, I think I'm decently accurate but feel free to make an adjustment. Lastly, it's difficult to get a good Gmin on standard tuning, but Drop D makes the chord progression a tad bit more awkward. Choose what makes you comfortable, power chord Gmin isn't too noticeable in the verses. Alright enough talking. Enjoy! Standard Drop D Verse, intro, outro: BbMaj Gmin EbMaj BbMaj Gmin EbMaj e|
