Chords

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Bas E-mail: bas5432 (at) hotmail (dot) com Short, straightforward song off of the last EP in The Bastard series. Picking pattern is constant throughout the song and can be played with three or four fingers. I use three, i.e. my pointer and middle finger for strings G and B, and my thumb for the notes on E, A, and D. The exact notes in the chorus are a little hard to hear due to the other instrumentation, but I tried my best to make it sound okay. Instead, you could also strum the chords to give the chorus a fuller sound. I've included the lyrics with chords at the bottom for an easier play-through. ************************************ Intro (identical to the last part of the Verse):
