Chords

These are the chords for the song, although its a repetition of string picking, its picking of these chords. Fairly easy either way though. I put the F chord twice throughout the song to emphasis that it gets two measures (8 beats) instead of one measure (4 beats) Em - 002210 B - 022100 C - 133211 Intro ----- Em B C C x 2
