Chords

Great new song from the killers in Bb. You can substitute the C chord for a Csus2 to add variation to the pattern. This sound particularly good on the little run from C to D and G The timing can be a little confusing at times, just listen to the song to get the hang out of it. I made this in a few minues after discovering the song. Sorry for any mistakes. I will give it a careful listen soon and correct any mistakes that may have slipped through or to add/remove chords. Thank you and enjoy, any questions feel free to comment 17/1/19 - Added some passing chords and simplifyed the chords by moving the capo to the the third fret. Enjoy!
