Chords with lyrics
Here's a song I tabbed I thought you might want to add to the archive. -Ken. "Shelter" by The Alarm There are actually two guitars, one playing the chords, another playing the lead riffs. I believe the song is written in the key of A, if this helps. Chords: B5B5 x2440x A augmentedA x02220 D MajorD x00232 E MajorE 022100 For each riff, I just use the strings it uses to save a little space.
