Chords

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Hillatio ----------- INFORMATION ----------- DON'T JUST PLAY THE CHORDS LISTED ABOVE THE BARS. I've just included those to give a better understanding of when chord changes occur and what the chords are at their core. -LOOK AT THE TAB CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT FRETS NEED TO BE PLAYED.- Note: I have not included a strumming pattern but have specified the bar lengths for each chord, so that you are able to make your own strumming pattern. ------- Verse 1 -------
