Chords

Hi, this was requested and it was- Tough! Tough! Tough! Melanie's songs are right up there with Jamie Campbell Bower's in terms of difficulty to tab. Just getting the initial chord progression is tricky with both artists! I think I got it though :) The timing for the intro and after each chorus is kinda tough. The changing sounds are subtle, but I did my best and think it sounds good:) Play along- (*= one strum) (You can single strum verses if you want. I lightly double strum each chord unless indicated as a single.) Intro- Bm D G F#7 Bm D F#7
