Chords

"Reuters" by Wire off their classic 1977 album Pink Flag. Note: During the Dm bits, toggle between (xx0231), (xx0031), and (xx0331) shapes. Listen to the record for the rhythm. I've also put timestamps in the outro to show timing for chord changes. [Chords] D* = xx0xxx A = x0222x D6sus2 = xx0x57 G/D = xx000x Dm = xx0231 Dsus2 = xx0230 Asus4 = x0223x D5 = xx0235 ============================================================ [Intro] | D* | x6 | D6sus2 | x8 | Dm | x4 [Verse 1]

And sooner or later the end will arrive
