Desperately Wanting Better Than Ezra Transcribed by Eric Norcross For Acoustic Guitar www.EricNorcross.com This song is so easy I’m not even going to put the chords in chart form. If you think you’re ready to play this song, then you really should know these chords already: Chords: F Am G C D D(sus) In the first verse, when moving from F to Am, try hammering onto the Am quickly then moving immediately to the G chord. For all following verses, try to use a more basic strumming pattern. The only tricky part is knowing when to and when not to sing.
