Chords with lyrics
The Mountain Goats
"This Year"
from the album The Sunset Tree
tabbed by R. Adams ([email protected])
This one isn't too difficult to play once you get the rhythm down.
Listening to the album will help you out more than any description
I can give. This song is driven by piano as much as guitar, so
these may not be the exact guitar chords used, but they are close
and will work for messing around with an acoustic guitar.
