Thanks to Aqeel Sadiq (youtuber) for uploading the instrumental version
of "Of These Chains" to youtube since it allowed me to hear the notes very
clearly compared to my own method.

Tuning: Standard
(On a standardly tuned acoustic guitar, some of the piano notes are played on the fret
closer to the guitar's sound hole. Since these frets can be tough to play,
I tabbed this song one octave lower on some parts when it was convenient.)
