Chords

This is transcribed from a solo acoustic performance by Jake. He does some around the chords in the verse, which basically involves playing the C and D7sus4 chords the at 2nd fret for one beat, then hammering on and playing as normal for the rest of the bar. Because this was transcribed from one of Jake's solo performances around May 2006, it's exactly the same as the album version. It's in a different key, and he also doesn't about "waiting on a spark that hasn't happened yet". Because of this, I've filled in a bit. I'm not 100% certain the Am7 chord is correct, but it seems to fit with the he plays the other chords so... Also, when going into the bridge, from Gadd11 to Em it sounds quite nice if you put a note in (F sharp). See how you find it. Capo VII Chords (All relative to the Capo) C - x32013
