Chords
Tuned 1/2 Step Down: D#G#C#F#A#D#
Updated: 2021-07-21.. Chords updated end of Prechoruses, Choruses, and end of bridge
Effects: Somewhat clean tone, some Echo and some Reverb
(Got to play with it - hard to get a decent tone!)
Where chords are mentioned, they are shown in Standard Tuning. (Easier to understand IMHO)
(eg: "A" power chord on Low E String, is 5E,A7)
I will be focusing on what I think Ira is playing.
When I specify lyrics, I will try to put the notes and chords to when the lyric is first spoken.
