Shiloh chords by Andrew Peterson

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

*Intro is played in the song as a guitar instrumental, so chords are my best attempt to
go along with that
*The timing is insanely hard so listen to the original to try and figure it out, also watch the key changes
