Chords by Tazman Osborne
These chords would be better suited to a piano. If you would like a version that sounds
better/more accurate
on guitar,use the sidebar function of this site to transpose it down two semitones and
put a capo on fret 2.
a lot of the chords alternate between barred inversions of other chords, so I’ve sort
of tried to capture that with slashes.
for eg. in the first line, the A/D/A is alternating between
A and a second
inverson of D (in a barred C chord shape),
which is hammered onto the A chord, with the open A string remaining as the bass note.
