Chords

Here is Too Bad, So Sad by Metric, as written for solo acoustic guitar. As you might imagine, solo acoustic is a major deviation from the synthpop sound that is employed by Metric nowadays. So I've had to make some changes to the chords for it to sound good. Gm: 35533x Bb: 11333x Dm/A: x0023x Cadd9: x3203x F: 133211 C: x32010 Dm: xx0231 Intro: Dm
