Gold Past Life chords by Fruit Bats

Chords with lyrics

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

Difficulty: Intermediate

You may notice a differentiation between Cmaj7Cmaj7 and C majorC in the chorus,
however I feel as though they are interchangeable (maybe the piano plays C majorC while guitar plays Cmaj7?).
Also, playing C/GC/G or Cmaj7/G could give it a fuller sound. Up to you.
