Guitar chords with lyrics
Build a Bridge Nahko varies where he plays the chords when he does this live. But I'm particular to play the verses as fret chords so you can get the beat and those single strums going, and the chorus as open chords. Palm muting parts of this song sounds sweet, too.
So in the verse:DmDm = 5th fret
G minorGm = 10th fret
A augmentedA = 5th fret [Verse]
DmDm
G minorGm Said prepare me for, for long battle
A augmentedA I am a witness, hold crystal bullets
DmDm I drop the hatchet, you won't forget this
