Chords

Sinead O'Connor From "Faith and Courage" I wrote this originally years ago and it disappeared from UG. So here it is again. The chords are actually done on a synthesizer but this works well on a distorted guitar. If you play it on acoustic guitar, it should be played a bit slower, I think. Note: On the outro, the chords tie into each other. This will sound awkward if not playing as power chords. Let me know of any issues. Cheers! [Intro] G [Verse 1]
