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 Intro |C |Am | |C |F Bb | (same progression as the first five chords in the chorus)
