Sylvia chords by Focus

Chords with lyrics

Intro chords - it’s important that they’re played in these positions...

The ’$’ represents the (dududu) chopping riff over strings muted with the
palm of the strumming hand (you’ll get it).

Then slide this last chord up to the FF position to repeat, and on into...


... the tune (Jan starts at C majorC on the 1st string)

Work this out from the record, it’s not hard to suss and you’ll find your
own way of fingering it anyway.

Must be played on a black Les Paul.
