Chords with lyrics
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
During each verse the first 2 lines are chords C majorC and A minorAm
but they are plucked not strummed. The plucking goes from string
A augmentedA to BB and back to A, but before you pluck sting A augmentedA you shift to the next chord.
Then when you get to FF on the 3rd line you strum
until you reach the next C-Am-C-Am
