Tuning:

The Temper Trap - Soldier On Chords by Simon Kelly The first version of the song works perfectly but I like hearing the bass and treble slide up and down and I think this version captures that better. Where you see "G F#m Em" below, only hit the middle chord once while transitioning. Starting from verse 4 the guitar goes from clean to being slightly driven so if you have an overdrive pedal, that would be a good time to start it. In verse 5, just strum each chord once and let ring.
