Baobabs chords by Regina Spektor

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: DbDb

Although it looks like there's a lot of chords this song is quite easy as it's mainly a progression downward
from DbDb to Eb, then AbAb and then it begins again. The verses follow a different structure but it's more
straightforward. Kinda.
