Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Difficulty: Intermediate

Play the barred version of an A minorAm to get the high A augmentedA string to ring.
It's pretty much a walk down on the high e string from 5th fret to 3rd to 2nd.
The G+G can be played normally or barred depending on what is an easier transition.
