Chords with lyrics
This is my Tab for Choir of Ancestors, I think it is not quite perfect and I#d be happy to include any
suggestions.
As for many of the latest Gazpacho songs the chords' voicings change a lot during the song, which can't be
adequately reflected in this tab. So I suggest listening to the song while playing along to get a feeling for
it.
