There were no lyrics nor chords online for this amazing song, so I gave it a go myself.
I might have named some of the chords wrong, but this is how you make them:
C#7 F# B7 E7 A B D7 A(var)
e|- x 2 x x 5 7 x 5
B|- 2 2 7 5 5 7 3 5
G|- 4 3 x 7 6 8 5 6
D|- 3 4 7 6 7 9 4 7
A|- 4 x 6 7 7 9 5 x
E|- x x 7 x 5 7 x x
You can use the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfBLcO97xI8 to see how he uses his thumb for the bass
and alternates it, and using his other fingers for the higher notes.
Let me know if there are any mistakes in here so I can correct them ;)
ENJOY!
