Chords

This my attempt to make Willows song (somewhat) playable on guitar while trying to keep the chords as spicy as possible. Obviously there is no right way, so make your own changes as wanted. Please leave your personal variations and improvements in the comments! :) Be aware that Verse and Pre-Chorus are in 7/4 time, while the Chorus is in 4/4. [Verse]
