Chords

I love this song and I couldnt believe it wasnt already up, so I had a go... Im sure not 100% but it sounds good on acoustic. Works best with a mixture of stumming and picking, but listen to the song and play it how you like. Any alterations, comments or suggestions welcome :) No capo Standard tuning EADGBe INTRO A F#m A F#m
