¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!

Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

This is definitely a tough song to pull off, but such a great song. For one thing it's fast,
there's lots of chord changes, they're mostly barres, and it modulates up a half step
every verse.

I submitted two versions of it, one with the modulations and one with every verse in C,
but alas this site rejected it because they don't want two ways of playing a song in one
submission. Oh well, easy enough to transpose all to C if you want an easier version.

Any chord I put in [brackets] means it's optional.

I play all my dim chords as a movable shape. For example G#dim is 4x343x (and barre the
3rd fret)

On each verse the "Dear" starts on a flatted 5th note. Very odd and nice to set the new key.
Can play a B7b5 (7x786x) there to get fancy, but very optional.

Not sure about the second chord (during "gotta understand"), I've seen it written as B/C,
but I can't make that sound right. Comments definitely invited.

Bass riff (adjust for each verse/key by moving up the neck):
e|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|---------1----------------3-1-------------|
D|---1-4-----4-2-1------1-4-----4-2-1-------|
A|-2---------------4--2---------------4-2---|
E|------------------------------------------|
