Chords

Song: Whisperi'lllistentohearit Artist: Spoon Album: Hot Thoughts Tab by: Heath Moore [Notes] - The start of the song is largely, if not entirely, synthesizer. Thus, the chords are an approximation for guitar. - Some tablature follow at the end of the lyrics/chords. They are largely attempts to incorporate the bass line into the chords.
