If I'm To Die
Keaton Henson
So this is definitely not what Keaton is playing in the live/acoustic video currently on youtube,
but it sounds close enough to me, and I noticed there weren't any chords available anywhere so I thought I'd
upload these (I made for myself) in case someone finds them useful.
I usually play by strumming or picking the top 4 strings up then down. Which, again is a lot simpler than what
Keaton is playing but sounds close enough.
