Keeping Time chords by Angie McMahon
Guitar chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Key: C Difficulty: Intermediate Notes for beginner/intermediate players. The whole song is based around E shaped barre chords. F on the first, G on the third fret, Am on the 5th (obviously Em shape), C on the 8th. When Angie McMahon plays it she doesn't barre across the whole fret, just the bottom part and uses her thumb to fret the E-string which is why her fingering looks different. Intro: G C G C F
