Chords with lyrics
Version 3
Fairly easy song. The hammer on that is heard in the beginning is the bottom F#F# to a G+G in the G+G chord from
what I can hear. Same with the C majorC chord except it is a BB to C. This is my first tab so I know it will not
be perfect. The chords in the intro and outro are displayed by measures. So G+G for 4 counts, then C.
Key of G+G - Key change to A augmentedA
No Capo
Intro: G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
