Chords with lyrics
If Only Tears Could Bring You Back
Performed by Midnight Sons
from Pokemon The First Movie
Note 1: I couldn't find an accurate progression for this song anywhere so all of
this is pretty much done by ear. It sounds very close to the original however,
so if there's anything that sounds off or missing please feel free to provide some feedback.
Note 2: Personally, I like keeping two fingers on the third fret of the top two strings while
playing the verses for every chord. I believe this is how the guitarist in the song does
it as well, but playing the chords as displayed should still sound good.
Standard Tuning
No Capo
