Truth chords by Finn Neil

Chords with lyrics

TRUTH
(Neil Finn/Jim Moginie)

NOTES: This is probably not as accurate to what Neil does as some
other transcriptions, but i think it's a fun solution to creating
a different feel on the acoustic between the first verse and the
rest of the song (the way the recording does). You'll start with
the capo on III, and remove it after the first verse. Since there
is a pause in the music right at that moment, removing the capo is
a fairly easy trick, and you should be ready to keep playing by
you hit the downbeat of the next verse.

TUNING: Drop D MajorD (DADGBE)
