Chords

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus 2004 This is a pretty easy song, you just go back and forth from Cm and F during all the verse and bridge parts. The chorus is the only part that is different, where you play [C G Am F G]. But since I'm anal about this kinda thing, I'll put it out clearly here.
