Chords

Hey guys, I wasn't able to find a decent tab for this song (just chords) so I thought I'd make one myself. I did it almost completely by ear because I also couldn't find any videos of Matsson playing it live, but I think it sounds right even if it's not exactly how he plays it. Above the bars I added the chords I use when playing it to help as well. PS: This is also my first tab so be gentle :) ^ between notes means hammer-on ||: :|| means repeat what’s in between 4/4 Time – Each dash is a sixteenth note 130-135 bpm Chords:
