Chords

Tabbed & arranged by: Josh Daley Note: - I recommend playing the riffs during the verse, but have provided chords. - The chords in the verse are simplifications, and will thus not match the song/riffs. Use the riffs if you can. - Alternative riff is generally identical, apart from missing notes in the BbM7 and Dm7 to make it easier to play. - For those interested the verse/riff chords are Dm7/C, BbM7, Gadd11/B and Dm/G. Albeit with slight variations or omissions. [Chords]
