Chords

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Paddy McAloon From: "Andromeda Heights" (1997) Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard --------------------------------------------------------------------------- VOICINGS The chords can be played with any voicing of course and the song still sounds OK. The ones I tabbed out below, however, are close to the ones used in the original recording and make it sound, well ... good. :) Enjoy!
