Chords

SONG: Northern Holiday ARTIST: Kaiser Chiefs NOTE: To get the timbre of the original song it’s best to use barre chords in the original key (see suggested forms in [Chords] below). TRANSPOSE: However, if you want to simplify playing significantly, and use all open chords, hit TRANSPOSE -1 at the bottom and use a CAPO on the 1st fret.
