Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

I'll assume you know the rythm of the song and everything, so I'll just put the chords...

I know the chords are right, but they add some weird notes to it I tried to get
them right, this is the best I could do...

C#7: x4345x <<<< It's not your regular C#7, It's like a C#7 +m
F#m7: 242222 or 242252
A: x02220 or 577655
B: x24442 or 799877
D: xx0232 or x57775
Dm: xx0231 or x57765
C#: X46664
F#m^: xx4x55

This is what the 2nd guitar basically does while the other one plays the F#m7...

Actually it only does the F#m^ chord, but I added the other part for you to
understand the rythm...
