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.
