Chords
This is from their "who we are instead" album.
Good, rootsy song that's easy to play.
I mostly just play chords throughout with a few strings picked here and there. For
the intro is just C and G strummed, with some simple sliding and walking on the A and E
similar style with the solo.
Just listen to the song on the album and play around with it.

Though my heart has been torn by loves I have worn
And I'm tempted by them ever still

You hold my affections and will
