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!
So I'm not going to take the time to write out the lyrics and everything. I just really like this song and didn't see chords online anywhere.
Key of A-major:
Verse: A | A | E | Dmaj7
Prechorus/Chorus: F#m | D | E | E7 | A
In the chorus, he plays the A with the lyric "foregone."
I haven't tried this at all, but it sounds like the guitar is playing with a capo on the 2nd fret. So the transposed chords are Verse: G | G | D | Cmaj7 Chorus: Em | C | D | D7 | G It sounds like he plays the verse holding the 3rd fret of the highest 2 strings the whole time (so E and A). Like this ---3---3---3---3----------------| ---3---3---3---3----------------| ---0---0---2---0----------------| ---0---0---0---2----------------| ---2---2-------3----------------| ---3---3------------------------| So the D is more of a Dsus4 and C is like Cadd9.
Like I said, I haven't played this at all, so if there's anything wrong with it, let me know. If you have questions, corrections, or related requests feel free to email [email protected]
