Halcyon Chords by The Paper Kites

Halcyon chords by The Paper Kites

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Original Key: D

*NOTE: I play the start of the chorus like this:

A     D     A

e|----0-----2-----5----|
B|----2-----3-----2----|
G|----2-----2-----2----|
D|----2-----0-----2----|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|

But I realized that some people don't like unnecessary barre chords, so I
wrote the chords down just as A-D-A. If you are comfortable with barring, I
find the song sounds better with the high A note.
