Here are the chords to 'Aftereffect' by Tiffany Alvord. This song is really cool because
while the chord progression is really simple and easy to play, lots of things happen in
the vocal line such as changing between minor and major melodies and a chromatic scale in
the bridge. In the original song, the accompaniment consists of simple arpeggios so you can
just pluck the guitar strings one by one but strumming still works fine.
Have fun playing :)
