Tuning: E A D G B E

these are the chords from the Bird In A House album * the bass notes on the D-chord (D/F# and D/E) during the VERSE should be played on the D-string, if you play them (otherwise just leave them to the bass). * the fill and bridge chords are standard barré-chords, with the notable exception of the final D5/A, which is played like x0023x. note that the bass guitar plays a standard D here, not the A noted in the chord. * the fills are really defined by the lightest string notes, so make sure you let the correct strings ring.
