Chords with lyrics
Blindsided (Acoustic, Bonus Track) - Black Star Riders from 'The Killer Instinct'
Standard Tuning EADGBE
Capo on 1st fret
For the E minorEm - D MajorD parts, there's the full chord, or the bass note, followed some cross-picking.
I've just strummed chords for the chorus. For the bridge, you can hammer on the E minorEm chord over open strings before the Am.
Just received the vinyl, so I have corrected the lyrics from the inner sleeve notes.
