Chords

After a while of looking for a useful tab or tutorial for this song, I decided to make my own transcription based on aspects of the following video: My transcription is somewhere between the linked video and the original, with some parts that are more faithful, and some parts that I left in my final transcription because I like them better or for simplicity. I recommend listening to the original voice memo to help with the timing, which I couldn't put perfectly because this app is limiting. DAEF#AD (Dmaj 9) Capo 4th fret Tune slightly flat to sound exactly the original (so technically I guess it's D half flat major 9 lol) h = hammer on p = pull off \ = slide down / = slide up [Intro]
