Chords

At the Moonbase, 2020 Did my best here to make an accurate tab but I surely missed some stuff. There are a lot of little intricacies in the song that are hard to capture with just a chord sheet. For the strum pattern, it sounds like he mainly hits the root with his thumb, strums down with his index, and then plucks either the G or B string on the way back up with his index. Occasionally it sounds like he hits the open high E string. Sometimes the G gets played as 32000x. The last F in the outro he hammers 0h2 on the G string. Also there's some slight chord variation between the C/G and G in the last line of the verses that I couldn't figure out. The G(7) in the first verse may just be G. The high E in the D9/F# isn't played during the second verse. F = 13321x C = x3201x G = 32003x G7 = 3x300x C/B = x2001x Am = x0221x C/E = 03201x C/G = 33201x D9/F# = 2x0210
