Chords

First serious attempt at song-writing. I would probably list it as an Alternative Ballad or the like. Tried to keep the low E string notes (3rd fret) constant and as quarter notes to aide tempo and the feel of syncopation in the Verses. Chorus should be loose but stay back on the low E beat to establish rhythm. Let me know if you like it! [Intro] in 3/4 where bass E string notes are quarter notes.
