Mainstream Kid (from The Firewatcher's Daughter - 2015)
Brandi Carlile/Tim Hanseroth
Note: This song is easier than you might think. What might sound like chord changes are instead
common rhythmic flourishes - lift your fingers for a 1/8th note to catch the lower note before
popping them back on to the original chord. Consequently the chords are pretty straightforward rock chords.
For the choruses, I've indicated two such embellishments:
Asus = x02230
A7 = x02020

FYI: My chord charts are not "tabs" (guides to replicating an artist's past performance).
I don't claim any of my charts show the "right" way to play a song. Instead, this chord
chart represents my personal interpretation of this song. And as a personal interpretation,
it's not something I care to debate. It's a road map for my own, and maybe your own future
performances.
If you have another way to play this song, great. Please, post your own chart.
We all benefit when someone contributes. Cheers! Dexex
