Guitar chords with lyrics

Off the album: Bamnan and Silvercork

In 3/4 or 6/8, quarter note 164bpm, eigth note 164bpm, I'll consider as if 3/4

Synth basically arpeggiates the chords and plays pads of them while guitar strums them out underneath,
the brushes in this song are real FTWBRUSHES

Mostly I just use typical bar shapes for this, but for the Gmaj and Ebmaj i use shapes that i learned
from Starship Trooper by Yes, eh use them or don't i just like them cause they are more comfortable for me.
