Halla again! Here I am back with an acoustic ballad of the Indie Alternative band The Paper Kites. In the live
version, it can be seen that Sam (the lead vocalist and guitarist) was using a capo on the @nd fret. This
version that I arranged however uses no capo and is adjusted to fit their pitch. Might come out with one that
is , if not, feel free to transpose this and slap on a capo to see if you can live up to the original! For now,
this is just a simplified arrangement of 'Flashes'. Enjoy!
{You can use A# interchangably with Bb, whichever is easier and more comfortable to play, or is much more
compatible with the verse (or just use the default tab provided.)}
I tried my best to match and integrate the tune of the electric guitar with the main acoustic instrumental to
create a unified sound, so I hope you enjoy and we can learn together! I recommend using all barre/power chords
for this song as it helps in adlibs or imitating the original as closely as possible :-)
