Chords

Tuning: Standard(E A D G B E)
Key: G#m
Capo: 2nd fret Song: Rapture Artist: Rival Sons Album: DARKFIGHTER Released Date: 20 January 2023 Cool intro riff from the Fuzz Lord--nice tension as it steps out of the scale and resolves to settle in musically to the verse groove then takes the same extended chord into the swelling chorus. Beautiful. These guys are consistently phenomenal. Times noted are shapes relative to the capo (i.e. F#m at 2nd fret), so "F#m" is actually a G#m chord.
